Core Metabolic Test
Cholesterol is a key maker of cardiovascular health. A cholesterol (or lipid) panel measures the amount of Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and Triglycerides in your blood.
An elevated TG/HDL ratio has been regarded as one of the valid markers for Insulin resistance. Insulin resistance leads to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and is a precursor for type-2 diabetes.
GGT is an enzyme found in high levels in the liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, and brain. It is a measurement for oxidative stress and can help detect diseases in the liver or bile ducts.
Average blood glucose (sugar) levels for the last two to three months. It is measured by HBA1C levels and is used as a risk factor for diabetes or prediabetes.
Highly sensitive C-Reactive Protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body and can assess the risk or presence of liver fibrosis, chronic liver disease and other issues.
High blood glucose/blood sugar can damage the capillaries in your kidneys, causing them to lose their function. Fasting glucose can help screen for conditions such as diabetes and prediabetes.
Visceral Fat is stored around your internal organs, including your heart, liver and intestines. Visceral fat makes chemicals and hormones that can be toxic to the body.
