[|Human|] I would like your opinion on the most basic way to explain what a Hemoglobin A1c level and how it relates to decreased kidney function in a patient would be. I need to explain this to someone (excuse me for not knowing the most PC term) who isnt the sharpest.
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. I would try to explain importance of HBA1 c in relation to kidney function. HbA1c is a Glycocelated hemoglobin which is an important tool to measure level of average sugar in blood in last 2 months and is considered to be very important tool to decide whether diabetes is well controlled or not. In a patient with long-standing uncontrolled diabetes or ill-treated diabetes there is gradual involvement of kidneys what is called as Diabetic Nephropathy which damages the kidney and leads to reduction of kidney function which is reflected as raised HbA1c in blood.
