Abstract

Background: The importance of accurately measuring glycemic control in the diabetic people cannot be overstated, since better glycemic control decreases micro- and macrovascular problems in individuals with diabetes mellitus getting renal replacement treatment. Aim: This study's objective was to contrast between glycated hemoglobin and glycated albumin in diabetes in hemodialysis patients. Subject and Methods: This was Prospective Comparative research caried out on 100 diabetic patients. Two groups were created out of them: Group (I): that had 50 patients’ diabetic on hemodialysis. Group (II): that included 50 patients diabetic not on hemodialysis. From March 2022 to September 2022, this research was carried out in the Nephrology Hemodialysis unit at Al-Azhar Hospital. Results: The current research indicated a great statistically substantial enhancement in GA level among group I in comparison with group II (7.2±9.1 vs. 1.8±1.8 %, respectively) while there was a statistically substantial reduce in HbA1C level among group I in comparison with group II (6.9±1.6 vs. 7.7±1.3 %, respectively) (P value
