The Diabetes Profile with Urine Examination is a comprehensive test panel designed to evaluate multiple aspects of metabolic and renal health, specifically for individuals with diabetes or those at risk. This profile combines both blood and urine tests to provide a full picture of how diabetes is affecting the body.
Blood Glucose and HbA1c: These markers are essential for assessing short-term and long-term blood sugar control. They help diagnose diabetes and monitor how effectively blood sugar levels are being managed over time.
Kidney Function: Kidney health is critical for those with diabetes, as the condition can lead to kidney complications. By measuring urea and creatinine, this test evaluates how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood and detects early signs of diabetic kidney disease.
Lipid Levels: The profile thoroughly evaluates lipid health, including total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL-C (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, and the cholesterol risk factor. Since diabetes significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, monitoring these markers is essential to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other related complications.
Urine Examination: The addition of a urine examination is a key part of this profile. It includes a test for total proteins in urine (TP-U), which helps detect proteinuria, an early indicator of kidney damage commonly associated with diabetes. Regular urine exams are crucial for identifying kidney impairment early and preventing further damage. Together, these tests offer a comprehensive view of your metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and kidney function. The Diabetes Profile with Urine Examination is an invaluable tool for managing diabetes, guiding treatment decisions, and preventing long-term complications associated with the disease.
