Metabolomic Profile Serum

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors including obesity, insulin resistance, PCOS, hormone imbalances and an unhealthy sedentary lifestyle. In its early stages it is a silent and asymptomatic condition, so this test offers a simple and straightforward risk assessment by measuring Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Insulin, High Sensitivity C-reactive Proteins (hs-CRP), Leptin, Adiponectin and Leptin to Adiponectin ratio. This full blood test differs slightly to the Metabolomic Blood Spot Profile due to the additional biomarkers of Adiponectin and Leptin to Adiponectin ratio.

This profile can help facilitate the early detection of metabolic syndrome and is indicated for patients with increased central adiposity, a BMI over 30, hypertension, high fasting glucose, raised triglycerides, elevated cholesterol, family history of cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammatory conditions.
