Overview
The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is mostly based on physical examination and lab tests. The diagnostic criteria of different international societies also involves consideration of lab tests like lipid profile and fasting blood glucose.
Laboratory studies
1) Blood glucose (fasting, post-prandial) and HbA1C (diabetes)
2) Urine tests (renal dysfunction)
3) Lipid profile (hypertriglyceridemia or low HDL levels)
4) Additional tests like apolipoprotein-B100, high-sensitivity CRP (C-reactive protein homocysteine and fractionated LDL should be done in high risk patients with family history.
Other tests may include
2) Liver function test (Fatty liver especially in concurrent obesity, progressing to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
3) Serum uric acid (elevated uric acids)
