Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often coexists with diabetes, anemia, and uremia, presenting challenges in monitoring HbA1c levels.
- A study conducted at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute analyzed HbA1c values in 127 non-dialysis CKD patients using two methods: turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay (TINIA) and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- Results showed TINIA was unable to detect HbA1c in 21.26% of patients, particularly anemic ones, and generally produced lower values than HPLC, especially in diabetic patients.

Data were collected using World Health Organization dentition status 1997 criteria and PUFA/pufa index.
White-spot lesions are the earliest macroscopic evidence of enamel caries. In such a situation, the enamel surface layer stays intact during subsurface demineralization, but without treatment the subsurface loss will continue, and eventually the surface layer will collapse and lead to a cavity formation. By introducing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) at this stage the lesion can be reversed.
