HbA1c could be an alternative to fructosamine as a marker for glucose levels over a longer period. In this study, we calculated a\nreference interval for HbA1c in dogs and investigated the correlation of HbA1c with hemoglobin and different hematological\nparameters. In total, 110 blood samples from dogs were investigated. Significant negative correlations were found between HbA1c\nand erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration, as well as hematocrit. There was a tendency in the red cell distribution width.\nNo significant correlation was found in the reticulocyte number and the erythrocyte indices. In conclusion, there is an association\nof different blood parameters with the HbA1c concentration, which have to be considered for the interpretation of HbA1c.
