 Lucica(TM) GA-L for the measurement of glycated albumin

Is Glycated Albumin the Same as Fructosamine?

In a word, no.

Fructosamine is a generic term referring to all glycated serum proteins, including glycated albumin, in blood serum. Lucica GA-L selectively measures glycated albumin.

The fructosamine assay measures a total concentration of glycated serum proteins, which can fluctuate due to acute systemic illness or liver disease. However, glycated albumin assays, such as Lucica GA-L,
measure the ratio of glycated albumin to total albumin, which minimizes interference due to the concentrations of glycated and non-glycated albumin.
