abbr.

gamma-hydroxybutyrate

glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb/Hb A_1c)

[glīkō′silā′tid]

a hemoglobin A molecule with a glucose group on the N-terminal valine amino acid unit of the beta chain. The glycosylated hemoglobin concentration represents the average blood glucose level over the previous several weeks. In controlled diabetes mellitus the concentration of glycosylated hemoglobin is within the normal range, but in uncontrolled cases the level may be three to four times the normal concentration. Assays of Hb A_1c, which normally has a 4-month life span, reveal whether glucose levels have been properly controlled during a period of several weeks before the test. The normal range is 1.8% to 4.0% for children; 2.2% to 4.8% for adults. Also spelled glycosylated haemoglobin.

glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb, GHB) test,

a blood test used to monitor diabetes treatment. It measures the amount of hemoglobin A_1c in the blood and provides an accurate long-term index of the patient's average blood glucose level.
