KROK 1 2007 – Question 2 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A patient is ill with diabetes mellitus that is accompanied by hyperglycemia of over 7,2 millimole/l on an empty stomach. The level of what blood plasma protein allows to estimate the glycemia rate retrospectively (4-8 weeks before examination)?
- A. C-reactive protein
- B. Fibrinogen
- C. Albumin
- D. Glycated hemoglobin
- E. Ceruloplasmin
Hint
Think of a long-lived blood protein that is modified irreversibly and without enzymes by glucose, so the modified fraction records average sugar levels over the previous weeks.
