Firstly, the test is Glycosylated Haemoglobin (Hb A1c). In Diabetes, the Haemoglobin (Hb) in the blood may get glycated, hence showing the extent of diabetic control in the patient, i.e., the lower the glycated Hb, the better the control. Further, the Hb which is glycated remains in the blood for as long as the life of the hb, hence creating almost like a 3 Month Record of the Diabetic Control in the patient, as against the regular Blood Sugar (Glucose) test which is a measurement of the glucose in the blood for that given time. Hence, the test should be done by diabetics every 3-4 months to track the extent of diabetic control. Measurment: The gold standard method to measure Hb A1c is by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The machine (almost like a haemotology cell counter) measures the glycated haemglobin, which gives a percentage of the total haemoglobin which is glycated. Normal Values (Reference Range): Less than 6%: Non-Diabetic Level, 6-7% : Good Control, > 8%:Action Suggested

What Test includes Haemogram?
Dear sir do the include with AEC HAEMOGRAM
Is there any difference between Haemogram and Complete Blood Count?
A complete blood picture measures everything from haemoglobin to WBCs to the number of platelets, etc per volume of blood. A haemogram includes few more parameters like PCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, etc.
What is a haemogram-esr?
A haemogram-ESR, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a blood test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over a specific period of time. It is a non-specific indicator of inflammation in the body and can help in diagnosing conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers. The results are typically reported in millimeters per hour (mm/hr).
What is E S R of Haemogram E S R?
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It is a marker of inflammation, the usual normal range is 0-20. The trouble with the test is it does not note where in the body the inflammation is coming from.
What do the results of a full blood haemogram mean?
There are many different tests that can be performed on a sample of your blood. No one sample ever received all those tests. so the meaning of your blood results depends on what tests were done, how old you are, whether you are male or female, and, sometimes, what race your are. Ask you doctor to explain the meaning of your results.
What is the full form of GRAN in haemogram test?
GRAN stands for Granulocytes, which is a part of the WBCs. There are 5 types of WBCs (Differential Count): Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils. A collective count of Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils are together called Granulocytes. In the less advanced cell counters, ie. the 3 Part Differential Cell Counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes and Granulocytes are counted whereas in 5 Part Differential Cell counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils are counted separately and more accurately.
