Hemodialysis.com: What are the main findings of the study?
To our knowledge there has been no prior hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and blood glucose (BG) equation formula specific for hemodialysis patients, in spite of the increasing number of diabetic patients on dialysis, currently almost half of them. In this study, we sought to develop HbA1c-blood glucose equation models for hemodialysis patients and found equations as follows;
