Title: The clinical significance of glycated albumin for patients with liver cirrhosis
Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical significance and change of glycated albumin(GA) for patients with liver cirrhosis.Methods The percentage of GA(GA%) and the level of glucose(Glu) in 105 patients with liver cirrhosis and 80 healthy controls were detected by enzyme method and hexokinase(HK) method.A total of 105 patients with liver cirrhosis were classified into 2 groups according to the Child-Pugh criterion,86 patients in Child-Pugh A group and 19 patients in Child-Pugh B+C group.The differences of GA% and Glu between the 2 groups were analyzed.Results GA% increased significantly in liver cirrhosis group,compared with that in control group(P0.01).There was no statistical significance of the level and abnormal rate of Glu between the 2 groups(P0.05).Furthermore,along with the progression of liver disease,the abnormal rate of GA% increased obviously,and that of Glu had no significant difference.Conclusions GA% in liver cirrhosis patients with normal Glu increases abnormally and is closely related to the disease progression.
