Abstract

  Background: In normal hemoglobin, there was no significant difference between the results obtained from both ion exchange High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC ion exchange) and Capillary Electrophoresis (CE). We do this research for comparison of HbA1c measurement methods between HPLC ion exchange and CE in hemoglobinopathy. Objectives: Comparison of the difference and compatibility of results between ion exchange high pressure liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis in HbA1c measurement on blood samples with hemoglobinopathy. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis of 78 blood samples with abnormal hemoglobin at Can Tho Hematology blood transfusion Hospital and Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from April 2021 to February 2022. Results: Regarding the general characteristics of the study sample: Median of age was 20 (min 01, max 70), 43.6% blood samples were male and 56.4% were female. RBC was 5.12±1.11x1012/L, HGB was 110±27.6g/L, MCV was 70.9±9.39fL, MCH was 21.7±3.93pg. In this research, there were 23 samples of variant HbE, 13 samples of HbH and 42 samples of β-thalassemia. The different of HbA1c between HPLC and CE in total samples were -0.83±1.19(%), in group of variant HbE was -1.84±1.43(%), in group of HbH was -0.89±0.82(%), in group of β-thalassemia was -0.26±0.69(%); and incompatibility of results HbA1c assay. Conclusion: From this study, the different was -0.83±1.19(%), mean±SD of HPLC and CE was 4.25±1.25(%) and 5.08±0.56(%) respectively, p<0.05; incompatibility of results HbA1c measurement between HPLC and CE on blood samples with hemoglobinopathy.
