Description

The Diabetes Profile with Urine Examination is an all-inclusive test panel designed to evaluate metabolic and renal health, particularly for individuals managing diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition. By analysing both blood and urine parameters, it provides a thorough understanding of how diabetes affects the body.

Key Components

1. Blood Sugar Control:
   • Blood Glucose: Reflects current blood sugar levels.
   • HbA1c: Offers insights into long-term blood sugar management over the past 2–3 months.
     These markers are critical for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring its management.
2. Kidney Function:
   • Urea and creatinine levels measure how effectively the kidneys filter waste.
     Diabetes can lead to kidney complications, making regular monitoring essential for early detection and intervention.
3. Lipid Profile:
   • Includes measurements of cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL-C (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, and the cholesterol risk factor.
     These indicators help assess cardiovascular health, as diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart disease and related complications like strokes and heart attacks.
4. Urine Examination:
   • Total Proteins in Urine (TP-U): Detects proteinuria, an early sign of kidney damage.
     Regular urine analysis can help identify early kidney impairment and prevent its progression.

Benefits of the Profile

This comprehensive test panel provides a holistic view of:

• Metabolic health: Helping track and manage blood sugar and lipid levels.
• Renal health: Detecting and addressing early signs of kidney damage.
• Cardiovascular health: Monitoring risk factors for heart disease and strokes.

The Diabetes Profile with Urine Examination is an invaluable tool for guiding treatment strategies, recommending lifestyle changes, and preventing long-term complications associated with diabetes.
