- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
- Required
- Tracks kidney function, electrolytes, glucose. Detects dehydration or renal stress early
- Liver Function Tests (AST, ALT, GGT)
- Monitors hepatic fat mobilization and enzyme normalization in NAFLD subjects
- Lipid Panel (Total/LDL/HDL/TG)
- Captures triglyceride reductions (20–42%) and LDL improvements. Cardiovascular benefit marker
- A1C or Fasting Glucose
- Optional (if baseline A1C <6.0%)
- Measures glycemic control improvement. Expect 1.5–2.5% A1C drops in dysglycemic subjects
- Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T4)
- Not needed unless symptomatic
- Annual only
- Rules out thyroid dysfunction confounding weight or metabolic outcomes
- Pancreatic Enzymes (Amylase, Lipase)
- Required if risk factors present
- Only if abdominal symptoms develop
- Screens for subclinical pancreatitis. Lipase >3× ULN is contraindication to start
