Authoring team

Interpretation of serum fructosamine level

  • as with many lab values, the reference range is different from laboratory to laboratory, so all results must be interpreted within the context of the institution you are practicing in
  • HbA1c and fructosamine are highly correlated with following formula (2)
    • HbA1c = 0.017 X fructosamine level (µmol/L) + 1.61 (HbA1c is in DCCT% terms)
