Glycosylated hemoglobins have gained wide acceptance as an accurate index of long-term blood glucose control in diabetes mellitus. A variety of glycosylated hemoglobin assays is available. There is a high degree of correlation between results determined by these assays. The ideal laboratory method for measuring glycosylated hemoglobin in the diabetic should be accurate, precise, easily standardized, inexpensive, and rapidly performed. Unfortunately, none of the currently used methods meet all of the criteria necessary to be considered the ideal laboratory method. The most widely used methods for quantitating glycosylated hemoglobins--including ion exchange chromatography, electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, thiobarbituric acid colorimetry, and affinity chromatography--are reviewed with respect to the important advantages and disadvantages of each method for the clinical laboratory. Techniques for quantitating glycosylated proteins other than hemoglobins, such as albumin, are also discussed.
