About the test
This panel is for early assessment of metabolic risk, using carefully selected tests that identify early metabolic deviations indicating disease risk. This panel has been selected to identify physiological changes oftentimes evident before the manifestation of common metabolic syndrome risk factors, to aid practitioners in identifying risk and delaying or preventing disease progression.
Included biomarkers & Reference ranges
| Biomarker | Reference range |
|---|---|
| Apolipoprotein B The main protein found on LDL and other 'bad' cholesterol particles. Considered a strong indicator of cardiovascular risk, since each particle carries one ApoB molecule. | 52–80 mg/dL |
| C-Peptide A byproduct made in equal amounts to insulin when your pancreas produces it. Helps distinguish how much insulin your body is actually making, useful in diabetes evaluation. | — |
| Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months, based on how much sugar has attached to your hemoglobin. Key marker for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring. | — |
| Total Cholesterol The combined measure of all cholesterol in your blood — HDL, LDL, and other lipoproteins together. A foundational marker of cardiovascular risk. | — |
| Triglycerides A type of fat in your blood used for energy storage. Elevated levels are linked to increased cardiovascular risk and often reflect diet, weight, or metabolic health. | — |
| HDL Cholesterol The 'good' cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels are generally linked to lower cardiovascular risk. | — |
| Insulin, Intact, Lc/Ms/Ms Measures intact insulin in serum using LC/MS/MS (mass spectrometry), a highly specific method, to help assess insulin resistance and how your body regulates blood sugar. | — |
| Insulin Resistance Score A calculated score estimating insulin resistance, derived from fasting intact insulin and C-peptide measured by mass spectrometry, used to help assess metabolic and diabetes risk. | — |
| LDL Cholesterol, Calculated The 'bad' cholesterol that can build up in artery walls. A core marker used to assess cardiovascular disease risk. | — |
| Non-HDL Cholesterol Total cholesterol minus HDL — capturing all the potentially artery-clogging ('bad') cholesterol particles in one number. | — |
| Total Cholesterol / HDL Ratio Compares your total cholesterol to your HDL ('good') cholesterol, offering a quick snapshot of cardiovascular risk balance. | — |
