Clinical Significance

This panel is for early assessment of metabolic risk, using carefully selected tests that identify early metabolic deviations indicating disease risk. This panel has been selected to identify physiological changes oftentimes evident before the manifestation of common metabolic syndrome risk factors, to aid practitioners in identifying risk and delaying or preventing disease progression.
