About this test
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of interrelated abnormalities — central obesity, elevated fasting glucose, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension — that together substantially increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. An estimated 25 to 35% of UK adults fulfil diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, yet most are unaware. This focused panel screens for the biochemical components of metabolic syndrome, enabling risk stratification before overt disease develops.
Note: Measures CRP, high-sensitivity CRP, fasting glucose, HbA1c, HDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol.
What this test can detect
- Insulin resistance — the pathophysiological driver of metabolic syndrome
- Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes — elevated fasting glucose and HbA1c
- Dyslipidaemia — low HDL and elevated triglycerides, characteristic of metabolic syndrome
- Elevated high-sensitivity CRP — reflecting the chronic low-grade inflammation of metabolic syndrome
Who should have this test?
- Adults with central obesity — waist circumference above 80cm in women, 94cm in men
- Individuals with two or more components of metabolic syndrome
- Those with a family history of type 2 diabetes or premature cardiovascular disease
- Anyone over 40 seeking a metabolic health screen
