|
An annual Profile for individuals with high BP and Diabetes. Persons with this combination of disease have a high risk of coronary artery disease (Heart Attack). This profile consists of following 47 tests:
Importantce of HOMOCYSTEINEHigh Homocysteine levels correlate to the extent of Atherosclerotic Plaque in the aorta. Homocysteine can impair the ability to repair vascular endothelial cell injury and thus promote the development of Atherosclerosis. It is possible to reduce its level with a course of simple vitamins thus avoiding heart attacks. Importantce of HbA1C (Glyco-HB)This test is capable of evaluating 10-12 weeks of glucose control. Patients having HbA1C level of >8.0% have very high risk of developing long-term complications in eye (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy), nervous system (neuropathy) and heart (cardiopathy). Importance of MICROALBUMINThis is a simple urine test, which detects renal complications very early especially in persons suffering from diabetes. Persons having persistent increased microalbumin ultimately may develop diabetic nephropathy. *Optional |
