Measurement of the quantity of the glycation reaction resulting from the amalgamation of glucose with free amino groups in proteins present in the blood is used to monitor the level of glucose that has normally been present in body fluids over a preceding period. Thus glycated albumin assay can be used to know the current level of glycation of albumin, the most abundant plasma protein.
Diazyme Glycated Serum Protein Assay in conjunction with Diazyme Glycated Serum Protein single calibrator is intended for the quantitative determination of glycated serum proteins (GSP; glycated albumins; fructosamine) in serum. The measurement of glycated serum proteins is useful for monitoring diabetic patients. This test could increase compliance and enhance empowerment among diabetes patients. It also has the potential to reduce the number of recommended SMBG tests, which may result in significant healthcare cost savings
