Glycated Albumin as a Novel Biomarker for Diabetes in Pregnancy: Current Status and Future Prospect
Abstract
Glycemic biomarkers are important for diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and prognostication of diabetes complications. In this rapid review, we focus on the strengths and limitation of selected glycemic biomarkers for monitoring purposes in pregnancy: Hemoglobin A1C, fructosamine, and glycated albumin (GA). We elaborated on the characteristics of each marker, the similarities, and differences. We summarize the review with important evidence on the utility and future prospect of GA beyond glycemic monitoring. In summary, GA is a good tool to address the inherent limitation of A1C as a glycemic biomarker. The elucidation provided in this review is poised to enhance the pragmatic and clinical applicability of various glycemic biomarkers in different settings in routine clinical practice
