Hoshino et al reported several equations for estimating average blood glucose in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. The authors are from multiple institutions in the United States, Japan, Canada and Hungary.
Patient selection: maintenance hemodialysis
Parameters:
(1) hemoglobin A1c in percent
(2) serum albumin in g/dL
(3) hemoglobin in g/dL
(4) age in years
(5) race
average blood glucose by model 3 in mg/dL =
= (29.4 * (HgbA1c)) - (20.8 * (albumin)) + 59.2
average blood glucose by model 4 in mg/dL =
= (29.7 * (HgbA1c)) - (18.4 * (albumin)) - (4.7 * (Hgb)) + 104.8
average blood glucose by model 8 in mg/dL =
= (30.7 * (HgbA1c)) - (16.5 * (albumin)) - (5.4 * (Hgb)) + (0.3 * (age)) + (points for race) + 82.9
