Should be negative

20
Q

A

5 - 14 units / gram

Used to determine if anemia is due to G6PD deficiency (the result will be low)

21
Q

Diabetes tests

A
  1. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG)*
  2. Hemoglobin A1C (A1C)*
  3. Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
  4. Preprandial blood glucose
  5. Postprandial blood glucose
  6. C-peptide (fasting)*
  7. Urinary Albumin Excretion (UAE)*
  8. Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio or Albumin to Creatinine ratio (UACR or ACR)
22
Q

Fasting plasma glucose values

A

> = 126 mg/dL: positive for diabetes
100-125 mg/dL: positive for pre-diabetes

Note: fasting is 8+ hrs

23
Q
