LOINC long common name : Deprecated PhenX measure - glycosylated hemoglobin assay that reflects long-term glucose
concentration;
LOINC description : A bioassay to measure percent glycosylated hemoglobin (Glycohemoglobin, Hemoglobin
A1C, A1C), or the amount of glucose attached to the hemoglobin in red blood cells
(American Diabetes Association, 2009). Glycosylated hemoglobin is a well recognized
assay of blood glucose concentration over the preceding several months and results
are predictive of diabetes complications and outcomes. The glycosylated hemoglobin
assay can also be used to determine if a person has diabetes (American Diabetes Association,
