Metabolic Syndrome Extended Blood Test

About this test
An expanded metabolic syndrome panel incorporating advanced cardiovascular lipid markers — particularly apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a) — alongside standard metabolic and inflammatory markers. ApoB is recognised by major cardiology societies as a superior predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease compared to LDL cholesterol, as it directly quantifies the number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles regardless of their cholesterol content.
Note: Extends the standard metabolic panel with apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein B, ApoB/A-I ratio, lipoprotein(a), LDL, and additional cardiovascular markers.
What this test can detect
- All conditions identified by the standard metabolic syndrome panel
- Elevated apolipoprotein B — identifying atherogenic particle burden beyond LDL
- Elevated lipoprotein(a) — a genetic, independent cardiovascular risk factor present in 20% of the population
- Small dense LDL predominance — the most atherogenic LDL subtype, common in metabolic syndrome
Who should have this test?
- Individuals with established metabolic syndrome requiring complete cardiovascular risk assessment
- Those with borderline standard lipid results but high clinical cardiovascular risk
- Anyone with a strong family history of premature cardiovascular disease
- Individuals on statin therapy wanting comprehensive lipid risk assessment beyond LDL
