Result Turnaround Time
Within 1 day
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Test Includes
Glucose, plasma; HDL cholesterol; triglycerides
Use
Identify individuals with metabolic syndrome. The National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines indicate that metabolic syndrome is present in patients with any three of the following five symptoms:
• HDL <40 mg/dL in men and <50 mg/dL in women
• Triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL
• Glucose ≥110 mg/dL
• Blood pressure ≥130/85
• Waist circumference >40” in men and >35” in women
Metabolic syndrome conveys an increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, and cardiovascular disease.
Limitations
This profile should not be performed on patients who have, in the preceding three months, suffered a myocardial infarction or similar traumatic episode, including acute infection or inflammation.
