title: Fructosamines in uraemia and renal replacement therapy.
abstract: Serum fructosamines and glycosylated haemoglobin have been examined in groups of patients with (n = 27) and without (n = 39) diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure, or undergoing renal replacement therapy. Elevated values of fructosamines were found in nondiabetic haemodialysis patients as compared to the other non-diabetic patients. The relationship between fructosamines and glycosylated haemoglobin appeared to be attenuated by uraemia. Successful pancreatic transplantation returned fructosamine and glycosylated haemoglobin values to normal.
