The measurement of glycosylated albumin by reduction of alkaline nitro-blue tetrazolium.
A method is described for the measurement of glycosylated albumin in human plasma. Purification of albumin is achieved by a simple one-step chromatographic method, adapted for use as a batch analysis technique. The glycosylated albumin fraction is subsequently measured by a modification of the fructosamine assay (alkaline reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium). The method correlates with the plasma fructosamine assay (r = 0.85; p less than 0.001) and with an electrophoretic method for the measurement of HbA1 (r = 0.78; p less than 0.001).
