“Overweight” - a comprehensive laboratory study

Obesity is not only an aesthetic problem, but also a serious risk factor for the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hormonal disorders, and even cancer. To determine the causes of excess weight and develop an effective plan for its correction, it is important to conduct a comprehensive laboratory study.

The importance of laboratory tests in overweight

A comprehensive examination allows:

1. Determine the level of hormones that affect metabolism.
2. Assess thyroid function.
3. Identify signs of insulin resistance.
4. Check the level of vitamins and minerals.
5. Assess liver condition and protein metabolism.

On the website Medilab You can undergo a comprehensive examination to assess the condition of the body if you are overweight. Let's consider the main indicators included in this complex.

Key indicators of the comprehensive study

1. Complete blood count + leukocyte formula
   • Helps assess the general condition of the body, the presence of inflammation, hemoglobin level and leukocyte count.
2. C-peptide (C-Peptide)
   • Reflects the level of insulin produced by the body and helps diagnose insulin resistance.
3. Insulin resistance assessment (HOMA-IR index)
   • Shows how effectively the body responds to insulin, which is important for diabetes prevention.
4. Leptin
   • A hormone that regulates appetite. Elevated levels may indicate leptin resistance, which contributes to weight gain.
5. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
   • Determines the function of the thyroid gland, a disorder of which can cause a slowdown in metabolism and weight gain.
6. Antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (AtTPO, ATRA)
   • Elevated levels of these antibodies may indicate autoimmune thyroiditis, one of the causes of excess weight.
7. Vitamin D (25OH Vitamin D total (D2+D3))
   • Low vitamin D levels are associated with weight gain and metabolic syndrome.
8. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate)
   • Important for normal metabolism, nervous system and protein synthesis.
9. Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)
   • Necessary for proper metabolism and DNA synthesis.
10. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
    • It is involved in energy production and nervous system support. Its deficiency can lead to fatigue and weight gain.
11. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
    • An indicator of liver health, which plays an important role in fat metabolism.
12. Aspartate aminotransferase (AsAT)
    • Together with ALT, it gives an idea of the functional state of the liver.
13. Total bilirubin (Bilirubin total)
    • Reflects the functioning of the liver and biliary system.
14. Total protein (Protein total)
    • Helps assess nutritional status and overall protein metabolism.
15. Ferritin
    • Reflects iron stores in the body. Its elevated level may indicate metabolic disorders.
