Even cancer risk has been linked to elevated HbA1c—even before it reaches the threshold of overt diabetes. Is the HbA1c foolproof? Does it always provide a clear delineation of your blood sugar control? Not always. First, there’s wobble—normal lab error. Surveys show that there can be ...
How low can hemoglobin go before death occurs? What causes pancreas levels to be high? What are consequences of having a low cardiac output? What causes elevated liver enzymes and high platelets? What causes low platelets in toddlers?
With this in mind, let’s look at some of the potential causes of elevated LDL particle number. If your LDL-P is high, it makes sense to test for and treat any of the conditions below (with the exception of the last, which is genetic and thus can’t be treated) before—or at lea...
Blood sample analysis provided measurements of total, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, hemoglobin A1c (a marker of long-term glucose control) and plasma dephospho-uncarboxylated matrix Gla protein (dp-ucMGP) which, when elevated, indicates low vitamin K in the body. (Matrix Gla...
hemoglobin A1c test (glycated hemoglobin) indicates the patient’s blood sugar level over the prior 3 months. An oral glucose tolerance test assess the body's ability to use sugar. It may be performed when levels of blood sugar are high, but not high enough to meet the criteria for T2D....
