Check-up weight loss "Standard" in the clinic Refresh Clinic Dubai

Weight Loss Check-up «Standard»

Designed for the initial assessment of patients experiencing excess weight, metabolic disorders, fatigue, and low energy levels. The selected tests target key factors that hinder weight loss: insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, chronic inflammation, and adrenal hormone imbalances. The included markers help identify underlying endocrine disorders and facilitate the development of a personalized weight loss or lifestyle modification plan.

Assessment of tissue sensitivity to insulin

Diagnosis of lipid metabolism disorders

Assessment of thyroid function

Detection of vitamin D deficiency

Assessment of adrenal activity

Diagnosis of a chronic inflammatory process

Weight gain, difficulty losing weight

Increased appetite, craving for sweets

Fatigue, reduced endurance

Mood swings, anxiety

Hair loss, menstrual cycle irregularities

Selection of an individualized nutrition and therapy plan

Suspected hypothyroidism, PCOS, metabolic syndrome

Assessment prior to starting a fitness program or therapy

Programme components

Insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR)

This indicator is calculated based on fasting glucose and insulin levels. It assesses the body's cellular sensitivity to insulin. Impaired sensitivity is the underlying factor in metabolic syndrome, contributing to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and PCOS.

Include

Normal range: < 2.5

Causes of elevated levels: excess weight, sedentary lifestyle, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes
Causes of low levels: hypoglycemia, insulinoma, pancreatic insufficiency

Lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides)

Comprehensive assessment of lipid metabolism. Includes total cholesterol, low-density and high-density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL), and triglycerides. It indicates the ratio of "bad" to "good" fats and helps identify dyslipidemia, atherogenic risk, and predisposition to cardiovascular diseases.

Reference ranges:
Total cholesterol: up to 5.2 mmol/L
LDL: up to 3.0 mmol/L
HDL: ≥1.0 mmol/L (men), ≥1.2 mmol/L (women)
Triglycerides: up to 2.2 mmol/L (men), up to 1.9 mmol/L (women)

Causes of elevated levels: hypercholesterolemia, overeating, hypothyroidism, metabolic syndrome
Causes of low levels: emaciation, anemia, hyperthyroidism, fat deficiency

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

The primary regulator of thyroid function. It controls the synthesis of T3 and T4 hormones, which influence metabolism, body temperature, mood, weight, heart rate, and reproductive health. Even slight deviations in TSH levels can indicate underlying dysfunction of the thyroid gland or pituitary gland.

Include

Normal range: 0.4–4.0 mIU/L

Causes of elevated levels: hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, lithium use
Causes of low levels: thyrotoxicosis, pituitary insufficiency, thyroxine overdose

Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D)

It influences calcium absorption, immune function, mood, and body weight regulation. A deficiency can reduce insulin sensitivity, increase fatigue, and impair recovery after physical exertion. It is an important indicator of overall metabolic health.

Include

Normal range: 30–100 ng/mL

Causes of elevated levels: high-dose vitamin D intake, hyperparathyroidism
Causes of low levels: lack of sunlight, gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, chronic inflammation

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate)

A hormone synthesized by the adrenal cortex. It influences energy levels, libido, muscle mass, immune function, and stress resilience. It serves as a precursor to androgens and estrogens. DHEA levels provide an assessment of adrenal activity and the body's overall hormonal balance.

Normal range for men: 160–449 µg/dL
Normal range for women: 98–340 µg/dL (depending on age)

Causes of elevated levels: hyperandrogenism, adrenal tumors, chronic stress
Causes of low levels: adrenal insufficiency, age-related decline, exhaustion

CRP (C-reactive protein, high-sensitivity)

A marker of systemic inflammation synthesized by the liver in response to inflammatory processes in the body. It indicates the presence of hidden foci of inflammation that can disrupt metabolism, hinder weight loss, and contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Even a slight elevation in CRP may indicate chronic inflammation, autoimmune processes, or metabolic syndrome.

Include

Normal range: up to 3 mg/L

Causes of elevated levels: obesity, occult infections, metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation
Causes of low levels: immunodeficiency states
