In this article, an interference caused by hemoglobin H (Hb H), during the measurement of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) with ion exchange high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, was presented in blood sample of a 20-year-old male patient. HbA1c measurement was performed with Agilent 1200 HPLC system using a commercial Recipe HbA1c ion-exchange column. Hemoglobin electrophoresis was performed with Interlab G26 agarose electrophoresis automated compact system. HbA1c level was 18.2% and HbA0 level was 81.5% with ion-exchange HPLC method. Patient's fasting serum glucose was assessed before HbA1c measurement and the result was 165 mg/dL (9.16 mmol/L). On the other hand, the result of HbA0 was 87.9%, Hb H was 10.8% and Hb A2 was 1.3% with electrophoresis. Whole blood test values were within reference ranges except MCV. MCV value was 79.6 fL. It is important to keep in mind that HbA1c level might be considered falsely high with ion-exchange HPLC method because of Hb H containing sample.

Bacteriocins, naturally derived antimicrobial peptides, are considered promising alternatives to traditional preservatives and antibiotics, particularly in food and medical applications. Despite extensive research on various bacteriocins, cyclic varieties remain understudied. This study introduces Gassericin GA-3.

Phytate in plants (inositol phosphates, InsPs) affects mineral bioavailability. However, methods for their quantification may lead to variable results, and some are nonspecific (spectrophotometric techniques). In this study, ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was coupled with post-column derivatization to allow fluorescence detection (FLD, λ324/λ364 nm) of InsPs.

Objectives: To describe a variant hemoglobin that interferes with HbA analysis by cation exchange HPLC.
Case Presentation: A 78 years-old Spanish male patient visited the Internal Medicine Clinic for a routine check-up, with HbA included to screen for diabetes. He had suffered hypertension and dyslipidemia, and the patient had no previous symptoms suggestive of diabetes such as hyperglycemia, weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria or tiredness.

Hemoglobin disorders are highly prevalent inherited hematological defects in Southern China. The identification of novel variants in globin genes and accurate assessment of hematological parameters play a crucial role in precise genetic counseling and clinical practice. Peripheral blood samples were collected for hematological analysis, including red blood cell and hemoglobin assessment, while serum ferritin levels were measured to detect iron depletion.
