Metabolic Syndrome Assessment - Test of the Month:
Coupon Codes not valid for this testing.
Fasting Required: Yes 10-12 hours
Lab: Quest Diagnostics
Specimen: Blood
Results: Average processing time 7-10 days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Description:Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions—including elevated blood sugar, poor lipid processing, and insulin resistance—that vastly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Because early-stage insulin resistance is often masked by normal blood sugar levels, traditional blood tests frequently miss it. This panel combines gold-standard insulin mechanics with advanced cardiovascular markers to give you a true, complete picture of your metabolic health.

Tests Included:
- Apolipoprotein B -Considered a superior indicator of coronary artery disease risk compared to standard LDL alone. ApoB counts the actual number of plaque-causing particles in your bloodstream.
- Cardio IQ Insulin Resistance Panel w/score- A highly precise assessment validated by Stanford University research. By measuring both Intact Insulin and C-Peptide, it calculates a reliable score (from 1–100) to map your exact level of insulin resistance. Tests included: Insulin, Intact, LC/MS/MS, C-Peptide, LC/MS/MS and Insulin Resistance Score.
- Hemoglobin A1c with eAG -Measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months to flag prediabetes or evaluate glycemic control Tests Included: Hemoglobin A1C and Estimated Average Glucose.
- Lipid Panel -Renders total cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol, calculated LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and triglycerides to establish your baseline cardiovascular risk. Tests Included: Triglycerides, High-density lipoprotein (HDL), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), Cholesterol/HDL Ratio (calculated) and Non-HDL Cholesterol (calculated).
