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. |
