Overview of the Metabolic Syndrome Profile Test
The Metabolic Syndrome Profile is a specialist blood panel assessing lipid health, glucose regulation, Insulin, inflammation and Adiponectin.
Metabolic syndrome describes a clustering of metabolic risk factors commonly associated with increased risk of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The laboratory profile combines a Lipid Profile with Glucose, HbA1c and Insulin.
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein provides inflammatory information, while Adiponectin is an adipose-tissue-derived hormone involved in metabolic regulation.
The profile provides a more detailed biochemical assessment than Glucose or HbA1c alone.
Blood testing cannot independently diagnose metabolic syndrome because clinical factors such as blood pressure and waist circumference also form part of assessment.
The Metabolic Syndrome Profile costs £399.
What Does the Metabolic Syndrome Profile Test Check?
The profile includes 6 grouped laboratory components, with the Lipid Profile containing several individual cholesterol and triglyceride measurements.
Lipid Profile
Assesses conventional cholesterol and triglyceride measurements relevant to cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Glucose
Measures circulating blood Glucose at the time of testing.
HbA1c
Reflects average blood Glucose exposure over approximately the preceding two to three months.
Insulin
Measures circulating Insulin and provides additional information about glucose and metabolic regulation.
C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity)
Measures low concentrations of CRP and provides information about low-grade systemic inflammation.
Adiponectin
Measures an adipose-tissue-derived hormone involved in metabolic regulation and Insulin sensitivity.
Who May Benefit From the Metabolic Syndrome Profile Test?
The profile may be useful for people who want a broader metabolic assessment than standard Glucose or cholesterol testing alone.
People with abdominal weight gain or other metabolic risk factors - Several aspects of glucose and lipid metabolism are assessed.
People with a family history of Type 2 diabetes - Glucose, HbA1c and Insulin are included.
People with previously abnormal cholesterol or Triglycerides - A full Lipid Profile forms part of the test.
People concerned about Insulin resistance - Insulin is measured alongside Glucose and HbA1c.
People undergoing cardiovascular risk assessment - Lipids and hs-CRP provide additional information.
People seeking advanced metabolic testing - Adiponectin extends the profile beyond routine diabetes screening.
How to Prepare
Do not alter diabetes, cholesterol or weight-management medication solely for the purpose of testing unless your clinician specifically advises you to.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Metabolic Syndrome Profile Test
Metabolic abnormalities often develop without obvious symptoms.
Progressive abdominal weight gain - May occur alongside metabolic risk factors.
Previous raised Glucose or HbA1c - Further metabolic assessment may be useful.
Previous abnormal cholesterol or Triglycerides - The complete Lipid Profile is included.
Strong family history of diabetes - Earlier metabolic monitoring may be appropriate.
High blood pressure together with metabolic concerns - Wider cardiovascular risk assessment may be helpful.
Difficulty managing metabolic health despite lifestyle changes - More detailed biochemical information may provide useful context.
Metabolic syndrome cannot be diagnosed from blood markers alone.
Blood pressure, waist circumference, medication, lifestyle and medical history also need to be considered.
How to Book Your Metabolic Syndrome Profile Test
The Metabolic Syndrome Profile can be arranged as a specialist private metabolic blood test.

Select your collection
Choose in-clinic phlebotomy (+£35) or a home visit from a phlebotomist (+£60).
Attend your appointment
Follow the fasting instructions and provide the required blood samples.
Laboratory analysis
Lipids, Glucose, HbA1c, Insulin, hs-CRP and Adiponectin are analysed.
Receive your results securely
Your completed Metabolic Syndrome Profile is delivered securely.
When Will I Receive My Results?
Results are generally expected within approximately 9 days.
The final reporting time is determined by completion of the specialist components, including Adiponectin.
Understanding Your Results
The profile is most useful when interpreted as a pattern rather than by focusing on one measurement.
Glucose, HbA1c and Insulin provide complementary information about glucose regulation.
The Lipid Profile provides cardiovascular and metabolic information.
High-Sensitivity CRP provides inflammatory context.
Adiponectin provides additional metabolic information relating to adipose-tissue physiology.
Clinical factors must still be considered before metabolic syndrome can be assessed fully.
