[ In Reply To ..]I know for sure she did not dictate that... she dictated HbA1c, but I have a relative who is a nurse arguing with me telling me it is HgA1c... it is def. not HgbA1c, I can't find that anywhere, even on Google. Any other help?
hemoglobin A1c - jan
[ In Reply To ..]I am certain the test is the above, but go by account specifics if they want it verbatim. My accounts are not verbatim and the preference where I work is to spell it out as above. It is to determine if blood sugars have been maintained in an adequate range. I googled it and did find HbA1c listed as the abbreviation for hemoglobin A1c, and the link for that was with Medline Plus Medical Encyclopedia.
