Overview
Laboratory studies
1) Test to diagnose diabetes like fasting blood glucose test and HbA1C.
2) Urine tests to diagnose renal dysfunction
3) Lipid profile to assess for 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
1) Thyroid test
2) Liver function test (Fatty liver (especially in concurrent obesity), progressing to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
3) Serum uric acid (elevated uric acids).
