Glycated albumin: An old yet new biomarker in people with diabetes and the potential for novel applications.

Key takeaways

This review discusses a blood test called glycated albumin. It measures blood sugar levels over about two weeks. The authors explain why this test is useful for people with kidney disease, where other common tests can be less accurate. This is a summary of existing knowledge, not a new experiment with results.
