Fructosamine
Fructosamine is a compound that can be considered the result of a reaction between fructose and ammonia or an
amine (with a molecule of water being released). A fructosamine is also formed when carbonyl group of glucose
reacts with an amino group of a protein, as the double bond to oxygen moves from the end carbon atom to the next
carbon atom and water is released. Fructosamines formed from blood proteins such as serum albumin are known as
Glycated Serum Protein (GSP) or Glycated Albumin, and are used to identify the plasma glucose concentration
over time and so assess diabetic control over an intermediate period of time.[1]
Indications
Glucose control is usually assessed in diabetes with the Glycosylated hemoglobin measurement that indicates
average glucose levels over the preceding 12 weeks, as reflected by the permanent glycosylation of a small fraction
of the hemoglobin molecules in the person's blood. However, this is not appropriate where there has been a recent
change in diet or treatment within 6 weeks, or if there are abnormalities of red blood cell aging or mix of hemoglobin
subtypes (predominantly HbA in normal adults). Hence, people with recent blood loss or hemolytic anemia, orhemoglobinopathy such as sickle-cell disease, are not suitable for some glycosylated hemoglobin methods that do
not account for higher-turnover hemoglobin. Fructosamine is used in these circumstances, as it also reflects an
average of blood glucose levels, but over a shorter period of 2 to 3 weeks. Fructosamine is also of use in conditions,
such as pregnancy, in which hormonal changes cause greater short-term fluctuation in glucose concentrations.
Interpretation of results
There is no standard reference range available for this test. The reference values depends upon the factors of patient
age, gender, sample population, and test method. Hence, each laboratory reports will include the patient's specific
reference range for the test. An increase in fructosamine in lab testing results usually means an increase in glucose in
the blood.
On average, each change of 3.3 mmol (60 mg/dl) in average blood sugar levels will give rise to changes of 2%
HbA1c and 75 mol fructosamine values.[2]
However, this overemphasizes the upper-limit of many laboratories'
reference ranges of 285mmol/l as equivalent to HbA1c 7.5% rather than 6.5%. A comparative study,[3]
which has
been used in official advice for Quality and Outcomes Framework guidance in the UK[4]
and summaried by the
United States' National Quality Measures Clearinghouse:[5]
gives the following formula and resulting values:
