Q

Interference for fructosamine

A

22
Q

You cannot perform this if the patient has
hypoalbuminemia (albumin less than or equal 30 g/dL because

A

It will cause false decrease fructosamine

23
Q

Reference value for Fructosamine

A

205-285 umol/L

24
Q
  • It is used to determine how well the body metabolizes glucose over a required period of time
  • Recommended for diagnosis of GDM
    Not routinely performed in patient with DM
A

Glucose Tolerance Test (Multiple Sugar test)

25
Q

Recommended method for Non-pregnant patients

A

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

26
Q

Reference value for OGTT

A

2hr - 60-140 mg/dL

27
Q

Diabetic value for OGTT

A

2hr, ≥ 200 mg/dL

28
Q

Value of impaired glucose tolerance for OGTT

A

140-199 mg/dL

29
Q

Requirement for OGTT

A
  • Patient should be ambulatory/able to walk (the only test in clinical chemistry that requires ambulatory patient and not performed on bedridden patients)
  • Unrestricted diet of 150g carbohydrate/day for 3 days prior to test
  • Restrictions: Exercise, food intake, drinking (only water), smoking
  • Fasting for at least 10 hours
  • Must be performed in the morning
30
Q

Smoking and alcohol can __ blood glucose

A

Increase

31
Q

Glucose load standards

A

▪ 75 grams – WHO standard glucose load
▪ 100grams–pregnant; as requested
▪ 1.75 grams of glucose/KBW - children (max. 75g)

32
Q
  • Performed on patients with gastrointestinal disorders (malabsorption syndrome)
  • Glucose load: 0.5 g/KBW (administer within 3 mins)
A

Intravenous Glucose Tolerance Test

33
Q

Janney-Isaacson Method also known as

A

Single-Dose method

34
Q

Steps for Janney-Isaacson Method

A

Steps:
a. Extract first blood sample (FBS)
b. Administer standard glucose load (75g)
c. Collect 1 hour, 2 hour, and 3 hour blood samples after glucose loading
- Total of 4 blood samples (including FBS)
d. Patient is not allowed to eat before collecting all four blood samples (he or she can only after collection of the 3 hour blood sample)

35
Q

Called double-dose because it uses 100g glucose load then, divide into 2

A

Exton Rose Method (Double-Dose/Divided Oral Dose Method)

36
Q

Exton Rose Method (Double-Dose/Divided Oral Dose Method) steps

A
  • Extract first blood sample (FBS)
  • Administer 1st half of the glucose load (50g)
  • Collect blood sample; 30 minutes after the first glucose load Administer remaining 2nd half of glucose load (50g)
  • Collect blood again 30 minutes after the 2nd glucose load
  • Total of 3 blood samples including FBS
37
Q
  • Recommended by International Association of Diabetes and Pregnant Study Groups (IADPSG)
  • Type of OGTT performed among pregnant women 24-28 weeks age of gestation who are not previously diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (can be used as screening method)
A

Q

In one step method, this is the ff criteria to diagnose GDM
