KROK 1 2008 – Question 4 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A patient is ill with diabetes mellitus accompanied by hyperglycemia on an empty stomach (7,2 millimole/l). The hyperglycemia rate can be retrospectively estimated (over the last 4-8 weeks before the examination) on the ground of the rate of the following blood plasma protein:
- A. Glycated hemoglobin
- B. C-reactive protein
- C. Ceruloplasmin
- D. Fibrinogen
- E. Albumin
Hint
A single fasting glucose shows only the present moment; think of which listed protein stays in the blood for weeks to months and can therefore keep a lasting record of its exposure to glucose.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
