Check-up «Metabolic Syndrome Profile»

A group of tests to detect signs of metabolic syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Includes lipid profile, fasting glucose, HbA1c, insulin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP H.S) and adiponectin.

Analysis Description

Metabolic syndrome combines several metabolic disorders: insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and high blood pressure. These changes occur latent, but significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes, myocardial infarction and stroke. The analysis allows us to identify key biochemical signs of the syndrome and promptly adjust the patient’s lifestyle or prescribe treatment.

The lab diagnostics detect

Screening for obesity, high blood pressure, lipid metabolism disorders

Diagnosis of insulin resistance and carbohydrate metabolism disorders

Assessment of cardiometabolic risk

Monitoring of patients with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis

Control with lifestyle modification or drug therapy

Indications

Abdominal obesity, overweight

High blood pressure

Carbohydrate metabolism disorders (fasting glucose> 5.6 mmol/l)

Elevated cholesterol or triglyceride levels

Hereditary predisposition to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases

Decreased insulin sensitivity

Chronic inflammation, elevated CRP levels

Monitoring the effectiveness of therapy for metabolic syndrome

Analysis Composition and Interpretation

Cholesterol Total

Reflects the total content of all cholesterol fractions in the blood. Participates in the construction of cell membranes, the synthesis of steroid hormones and vitamin D. It is the main structural component of lipid metabolism.

Normal range: <5.0 mmol/l

Reasons for increased values: atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, hypothyroidism, hereditary hyperlipidemia
Reasons for decreased values: hyperthyroidism, severe liver disease, exhaustion, chronic infections

HDL-cholesterol

Ensures the transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver for further utilization. Plays an important role in regulating lipid balance and preventing the accumulation of cholesterol in the vascular wall.

Normal range:

Men: >1.0 mmol/l
Women: >1.2 mmol/l

Reasons for increased values: active lifestyle, balanced diet
Reasons for decreased values: metabolic syndrome, smoking, obesity, insulin resistance

LDL-cholesterol

Responsible for the transfer of cholesterol from the liver to cells and tissues. Is a key participant in the processes of membrane synthesis and hormonal metabolism. Important for the delivery of cholesterol to peripheral organs.

Normal range: <3.0 mmol/l

Reasons for increased values: hereditary dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome
Reasons for decreased values: lipid absorption disorder, taking lipid-lowering drugs

Triglycerides

Represents a form of energy storage in the body. Transported in the blood and used by cells as a fuel source. Participates in fat metabolism and energy balance.

Normal range: <1.7 mmol/l

Reasons for increased values: obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, excessive carbohydrate intake
Reasons for decreased values: hyperthyroidism, malnutrition, chronic gastrointestinal diseases

Fasting Plasma Glucose

The main source of energy for the cells. Maintains a stable level of metabolic activity in the body. Glucose levels reflect the state of carbohydrate metabolism and the functioning of the pancreas.

Normal range: 3.9–5.5 mmol/l

Reasons for increased values: prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, acute stress, pancreatic disease
Reasons for decreased values: insulinoma, overdose of insulin or hypoglycemic drugs, severe liver disease

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

A form of hemoglobin associated with glucose. The indicator reflects the average blood glucose level over the past 2–3 months. Used for long-term assessment of carbohydrate metabolism and metabolic stability.

Normal range: <5.7%

Reasons for increased values: prediabetes, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome
Reasons for decreased values: hypoglycemic conditions, increased hematopoiesis, hemolytic anemia

Insulin

Pancreatic hormone. Provides for the transport of glucose into cells and regulates blood sugar levels. Participates in the synthesis of glycogen and fats, affects protein metabolism.

Normal range: 2.6–24.9 µIU/ml

Reasons for increased values: insulin resistance, obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulinoma
Reasons for decreased values: type 1 diabetes, autoimmune β-cell disease, severe physical stress

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP H.S)

One of the most sensitive proteins of the acute phase of inflammation. Synthesized in the liver in response to inflammatory processes. Used for early detection of systemic inflammatory reactions.

Normal range: <1.0 mg/l

Reasons for increased values: obesity, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, inflammatory diseases
Reasons for decreased values: recovery period after inflammation, normal condition

Adiponectin

Adipose tissue hormone. Participates in the regulation of insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism and anti-inflammatory processes. It helps maintain metabolic homeostasis.

Normal range:

Men: 4–10 µg/ml
Women: 5–15 µg/ml

Reasons for increased values: weight loss, antidiabetic therapy
Reasons for decreased values: obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance
