A Hemoglobin A1C Immunoassay Method Not Affected By Carbamylated Hemoglobin* ANDREA M. ROSE,! CAROLYN TONGATE, and ROLAND VALDES Jr., P h.d.tt Departments of Pathologyf and Biochem istryt University o f Louisville, and University o f Louisville H ospital, Louisville, KY ABSTRACT Hem oglobin A1C (HbAlc ) methods based on charge separation of Hb species are subject to interference from carbamylated Hb (carb Hb). Carb Hb adducts are formed via interaction of terminal amino groups of HbA with isocyanic acid, after the spontaneous dissociation of urea to cyanate. It is hypothesized that a new immunoassay method, using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes the N-terminus of the Hb p-chain and its sugar moiety, should be refractory to cross-reactive interference from carb Hb. To test this hypothesis, Hb was carbamylated in vitro and co-migration of carb Hb assessed w ith HbAlc using an electrophoretic method. D ensitom etric scans post sodium cyanate incubation and electrophoretic separation show ed a 5 to 7 fold elevation of the HbAlc peak only, w hile HbAlc values obtained using im m unoassay w ere unaffected. Also assessed was carbamylation interference in vivo, and a positive proportional bias w ith the electrophoretic system (Y) was observed compared to the immunoassay system (X) (y = 1.2x 0.21 percent). Others have shown that carb Hb may cause a clinically significant false elevation in patient HbAlc values, when methods based on charge separation of Hb species are used. It is our conclusion, however, that while carb Hb may play a role, the differences observed in this study are largely due to calibration.

To reduce complications, the DCCT recom mends frequent blood glucose m onitoring and periodic m easurem ent of HbA l c. 1 Glycated Hb, of which HbAlc is the best characterized and predom inant species, form nonenzymatically in red blood cells (RBC). The amount of glycated Hb form ed is proportional to the average blood glucose level over the 1 2 to 16 week life span of the RBC, and, thus, is a m easure of glycem ic control.2 H em oglob in A 1C differs from HbA, the n o n glycated form, in that it has a glucose residue covalently linked to the amino group of the N -term inal am ino acid of each beta-chain.3 Analogous to glycation, carbamylation of Hb also occurs nonenzym atically in patients w ith urem ia. U rea spontaneously d isso ciates in plasm a to form ammonium and cyanate ions. Terminal amino groups of the Hb beta-chains interact with the reactive isocyanic acid to irreversibly form a carbamyl derivative whose concentration is proportional to the time-averaged concentration of blood urea.4 Thus, like HbAlc, carb Hb accum ulates over the life of the RBC. Carbamylation of various proteins has been suggested to play a pathophysiologic role in the m echanism of urem ic toxicity.5 By altering the H b charge, carbamylation interferes with glycated H b methods based on charge separation of H b species, i.e., ion exchange (including high pressure liquid chromatography [HPLC]) and electrophoresis.6 Carb Hb typically migrates with HbAlc. The Miles DCA immunoassay system* uses a monoclonal antibody that recognizes the sugar m oiety and the amino term inus of the (3-chain of H ba l c. T herefo re, unlike m ethods th a t se p arate H b b a sed on c h a rg e, th is m eth o d sh o u ld n o t be affected by carb Hb. To test this hypothesis, Hb was carbamylated in vitro, and the HbAlc results obtained by im m unoassay* were compared with the results obtained using e lectro p h o resis.t The effect of carbamylation in vivo was also assessed by comparing the HbAlc values obtained using both m ethods in diabetics w ith norm al renal function, diabetics with uremia, nondiabetics with uremia, and normal controls. Materials and M ethods S a m p l e P o p u l a t i o n In vitro carbamylation of Hb was perform ed on w h o le b lood e th y le n e d i- aminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-preserved samples obtained by venipuncture from five normal, nondiabetic controls with blood urea nitrogen (reference range 6 to 23 mg/dl), Hb (reference range 12 to 18 g/dl), and hem atocrit (reference range 37 to 52 percent) values all w ithin their referen ce ranges. In vivo studies used whole blood ED TA -preserved samples obtained from: (1 ) diabetics w ithout uremia with blood urea nitrogen, Hb and hem atocrit values w ithin norm al reference range; and (2 ) nondiabetics and diabetics w ith urem ia w hose values for blood urea nitrogen ranged from 26 to 97 mg/dl (mean 48.2 mg/dl), H b ranged from 9.6 to 15.7 g/dl (mean 10.4 g/dl), and hematocrit ranged from 28.5 to 47.8 percent (mean 34.1 percent).

M ethemoglobin complexes with thiocyanate to form thiocyanm ethem o- globin which is m easured spectrophotom etrically. Color developm ent is proportional to the concentration of total Hb in the sample. HbAlc is m easured using an inhibition of latex agglutination tech nique. An agglutinator (synthetic polym er containing m ultiple copies of the im m unoreactive portion of HbAlc, i.e., first three am ino acids at the amino term inus of the p-chain and the sugar) causes agglutination of latex coated with H ba lc -specific m ouse m onoclonal antibody. Agglutination increases light scattering, which is m easured as an increase in absorbance. Hemoglobin A1C in whole blood specimens competes for the lim ited num ber of antibody-latex bin d in g sites. In h ib i tion of agglutination, and decreased scattering is m easured as a decrease in absorban ce. T he H ba lc c o n c e n tra tio n is quantitated using a 1 2 point calibration curve of absorbance versus H ba lc concentration. The percent of HbAlc in the sam ple is then calculated as percent HbAlc = [HbAlc ]/[Total Hb] x 100. All m easurem ents and calculations are perform ed autom atically by the analyzer.7 The Beckman D iatract electrophoretic system performs a charge separation of Hb species. Hemolysate is applied to an agar-based support m edium provided by the m anufacturer and an electrical potential is in tro duced p er m anufacturer s instructions.

Fifty xl of 0.5M sodium cyanatet was added to each tube, and the cells w ere in cu bated at 37 C for 1 and 2 hr. The cells were washed with 5 ml of isotonic saline as described previously, resuspended in 0.5 ml isotonic saline, and stored at 4 C prior to analysis by both m ethods the next day. Results An in vitro carbamylation reaction was performed using whole red blood cells from healthy nondiabetics to determ ine w hether or not the HbAlc immunoassay system is subject to interference from carb H b. U sin g an e le c tro p h o re tic m ethod that separates Hb species based on charge, the degree of H b carbam ylation was densitom etrically detected following one or two hours of incubation with sodium cyanate. The densitom etric scans visually dem onstrated that carb Hb co-migrates with HbAlc. A 5 to 7 fold increase in the HbAlc peak was observed follow ing sodium cyanate incubation using the electrophoretic system.

Statistical analysis of results obtained with the immunoassay m ethod (figure 1 legend) indicate that carb Hb does not interfere with the accurate assessment of HbAlc by this method. The current authors also w ished to determ ine w hether or not the HbAlc values observed in diabetics with urem ia could partially be attributed to H b carbamylation in vivo, and to what extent. Figure 2 com pares the HbAlc results using both m ethods for 29 individuals. The reference range established by the A m erican D ia b e te s A sso ciatio n for HbAlc percentages in the nondiabetic population is 4 to 6 percent. Both m ethods gave HbAlc results within this range for th e five norm al co n tro ls. W hen assessed by immunoassay, only one of the seven urem ic, nondiabetic individuals had a HbAlc result above 6 percent; how ever, w hen assessed by electrophoresis, five of these same uremic, nondiab etic in d iv id u als had H ba lc values above 6 percent. All HbAlc values for diabetics, with and without uremia, were elevated above 7 percen t by both m ethods, w ith clear overlap b e tw e en th e two groups, except for one d iab etic, urem ic individual. Figure 2 also shows a positive proportio n al bias w ith the e le c tro p h o re tic m ethod as compared to the immunoassay method, indicating that as the percentage of H ba lc in c re a se s, th e d iffe re n c e betw een the values obtained by both m ethods for each individual increases. However, a plot of blood urea nitrogen versus percent bias (figure 3) for all individuals has a slope which is essentially zero (Y = 0.005X percent), suggesting no correlation betw een the bias and blood urea nitrogen. Discussion Analysis of whole blood samples preand post-incubation with a carbamylating agent allowed the authors to determ ine that the immunoassay m ethod is not subjec t to interference from H b carbam ylation. R ecent studies,6 9 including our own, suggest that in vivo, carbamylation of Hb may increase the H ba lc value w hen assessed by m ethods b ased on

Y = 1.2X percent; r = Immunoassay % HbAlc charge separation of H b species. This could explain the HbAlc percentages in excess of the 4 to 6 percent normal range observed for five of the seven uremic, nondiabetic individuals w hen evaluated by the electrophoretic method. Hyperu re m ic in d iv id u a ls o fte n e x h ib it decreased red cell survival, m aking accurate assessm ent of glycation or carbamylation problematic. Both of the uremic, nondiabetic individuals with electrophoretically determ ined HbAlc percentages w ithin the norm al range had decreased hem oglobin and hem atocrit levels. A nem ia could, therefore, account for the lo w e r v a lu e s o b s e r v e d in th e s e two individuals. W hile carb H b has been show n to interfere in m ethods based on charge separation of Hb species, it cannot solely acco u n t for th e d isp a rity in re su lts observed in this study (figure 2 ), betw een these two methods, or betw een glycated Hb methods in general. 10,11 For example, although p ercen t H ba lc for th e normal, nondiabetic, nonurem ic controls < BUN (mg/dl) 10 0 FIGURE 3.

In addition, the bias observed betw een the two m ethods for all groups did not correlate w ith blood urea nitrogen levels, suggesting involvem ent of some other factor. The proportional bias, shown in figure 2, suggests that the percent HbAlc differences may be due to standardization, as m ight be observed w ith instrum ent calibration variability. G lycation and carb am y latio n both involve the nonenzymatic condensation of glucose or urea-derived cyanate with hemoglobin. The extent of glycation or carbamylation depends on the relative affinities of glucose and cyanate for hem oglobin over the life of the RBC. Assuming comparable affinities, HbAlc values for diabetics w ith and w ithout urem ia w ould be expected to be sim ilar w hen assessed by electrophoresis. However, uremic, diabetic individuals might be expected to have low er on average HbAlc levels than diabetics w ithout uremia w hen evaluated using an immunoassay m ethod that does not recognize carb H b. T his issue should b e addressed using a larger data set, keeping in mind that the presence of anem ia will also falsely decrease the HbAlc result. W hile the patient num ber is small, this study suggests that carbam ylation may falsely inflate the percentage of HbAlc when obtained using m ethods based on charge separation of hem oglobin. M oreover, the study confirms the need for individuals to be evaluated against their ow n p rev io u s H b A lc v a lu e s, u sin g the same m ethod, in order to obtain a true picture. These results reinforce the utility of standardization in the evaluation of glycated Hb. Obviously, the contribution of any non-hbalc com ponent with certain methodologies compounds the problem of lack of standardization in evaluation of HbA l c. 10,11 A recent quality assurance survey co n d u cted by th e C ollege of Am erican Pathologists show ed that 65 percent of laboratories reporting HbAlc values use m ethods based on charge separation of Hb species. 12 Weykamp et al have determ ined that HPLC, disposable ion-exchange, and electrophoresis, all of w hich identify H b species based on charge differences, are subject to interference by Hb derivatives such as carbamylated and acetylated H b.6,13 The prevalence of renal complications owing to diabetes significantly contributes to the num ber of kidney transplants performed yearly and to the cost of m edical care, which is approaching $ 2 billion p e r y e a r. 14 T he recen tly co m p le te d D C C T 1 has concluded that intensive therapy, which includes three or more insulin injections per day or the use of an insulin pum p, diet and exercise counseling, fre q u e n t glucose m onitoring, frequent interaction with members of the patient s m anagem ent team, and periodic monitoring of HbAlc, effectively delays the onset and slows the progression of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Therefore, lack of consensus on e ith e r a stan d ard or a re fe re n c e m ethod interferes w ith patien t m anagem ent and the assessm ent of glycem ic control and also hinders im plem entation of the recommendations of the American D iabetes Association. 14,15 The authors conclude that the DCA immunoassay system is not subject to interference from carb Hb, and that the specificity achieved using this im m unochemical approach is ideal for assessing glycemic control.
