Evaluation of a commercial kit for measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin in canine blood.
Total glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1)) was measured in canine blood samples by conventional macrocolumn ion exchange chromatography and with a commercial glycosylated hemoglobin kit. The two methods correlated well (r= 0.94, p < 0.001) and the reproducibility of the kit method was good. The commercial kit method is recommended for measurement of HbA(1) in canine blood.
