Metabolomic Profile

The Metabolomic Profile provides assessment of the likelihood of Metabolic syndrome in at-risk patients. The Metabolomic Profile evaluates seven biomarkers that may reflect a patient’s risk of developing Metabolic syndrome, which is identified by a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, with insulin resistance and adiposity as its central features. Identification of individuals with metabolic syndrome is important due to its association with an increased risk of and type 2 diabetes mellitus, renal damage and coronary heart disease. Early detection of risk for Metabolic Syndrome is very important because associated symptoms may not be evident until it is well advanced.
