Metabolic Health
& Obesity Profile
11 Tests · Only ₹2,999
⚠️ Struggling with weight gain despite diet & exercise? The answer is almost never willpower — it's usually hidden in the blood. Elevated Insulin, high Cortisol or low Testosterone actively resist weight loss.
Find the root cause of your weight gain. This 11-test panel digs into the hormones and metabolic markers that actually drive obesity — Insulin Resistance, Cortisol, Testosterone, Blood Sugar, Cholesterol, Liver Health and more. Stop guessing. Start fixing.
All 11 Tests — Complete Breakdown
Tests marked are the 5 metabolic-specific markers — Insulin Fasting, Cortisol (7–9 AM), Testosterone, HbA1c and Electrolytes — that make this a targeted metabolic panel rather than a standard checkup.
Glucose FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar)
The baseline fasting glucose measurement. Elevated FBS indicates impaired glucose metabolism or diabetes. Combined with Insulin Fasting, it calculates HOMA-IR — the gold-standard clinical index for insulin resistance diagnosis.
HbA1c — Glycosylated Haemoglobin
Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 90 days — far more reliable than a single glucose reading. Essential for assessing long-term glucose dysregulation, a core driver of metabolic syndrome and weight gain resistance.
Liver Function Test (LFT)
Assesses liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, ALP, GGT), bilirubin and proteins. Elevated liver enzymes in overweight individuals typically indicate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which directly impairs the liver's fat metabolism and detoxification functions.
Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Panel)
Full cholesterol panel: Total, HDL, LDL, VLDL and Triglycerides. Metabolic syndrome is defined partly by high triglycerides and low HDL — patterns almost always present in insulin-resistant individuals. Essential for cardiovascular risk stratification in obesity.
Serum Creatinine
Measures kidney filtering function. Obesity and insulin resistance are leading causes of chronic kidney disease. Monitoring creatinine ensures kidney health is preserved as metabolic interventions are initiated.
Electrolyte Profile (Na, K, Cl, HCO₃)
Measures sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate. Electrolyte imbalances are common in metabolic conditions, diabetes and obesity-related hypertension. They affect energy production, nerve signalling and weight-loss capacity.
Testosterone — Total
Low testosterone in men is a major driver of metabolic syndrome — promoting fat gain (especially visceral), reducing muscle mass and impairing insulin sensitivity. In women with PCOD, elevated testosterone is a metabolic marker. Testing both is critical for complete metabolic assessment.
Glucose PLBS (Post-Lunch Blood Sugar)
Measures blood glucose 2 hours after a meal. Post-meal glucose spikes are often more damaging to metabolic health than fasting glucose — many pre-diabetics show normal FBS but abnormal PLBS. Essential for complete glucose metabolism assessment.
Complete Urine Examination (CUE)
Screens for glucose, protein, ketones and cellular elements. Glucosuria indicates poorly controlled diabetes. Ketonuria signals fat-burning. Proteinuria signals early kidney damage — all directly relevant metabolic markers.
Cortisol Serum (7–9 AM)
Cortisol is the primary stress and fat-storage hormone — collected at peak secretion time (7–9 AM). Detects hypercortisolism from chronic stress, poor sleep or adrenal dysfunction — a leading cause of visceral fat accumulation, insulin resistance and difficulty losing weight.
Insulin Fasting
The most direct clinical marker for insulin resistance — the root cause of Type 2 diabetes, PCOD, metabolic syndrome and weight gain resistance. Elevated fasting insulin can be present 10–15 years before FBS or HbA1c become abnormal. Combined with FBS, calculates the HOMA-IR score used by doctors to diagnose and monitor insulin resistance.
The Metabolic Drivers of Weight Gain & Obesity
Who This Profile Is Designed For
This test is most valuable when the cause of weight gain or metabolic problems is unknown — or when conventional diet and exercise have not produced results.

Why NABL Accreditation Matters for Metabolic Tests
Insulin and Cortisol are immunoassay tests requiring precisely calibrated equipment. An uncertified lab may show your Insulin as normal when it is elevated — causing a missed diagnosis of insulin resistance.
Direct-to-Patient Pricing.
No Middlemen. Ever.
Insulin and Cortisol tests alone cost ₹800–1,200 each at hospital labs. This package gives you all 11 tests at ₹2,999 — because we pay zero commission to aggregators.

What Our Patients Say
"My fasting Insulin was 28 µIU/mL — severe insulin resistance — while my FBS and HbA1c were both completely normal. I'd been struggling with belly fat for 3 years despite strict dieting. My doctor immediately started metformin and a low-carb protocol. In 4 months I lost 9 kg. Lotus Diagnostics near Nizampet gave me the answer no one else had found."
"Cortisol was very high — elevated from chronic work stress. My doctor explained this was causing visceral fat accumulation. Testosterone was also below range. The free home collection at exactly 7:30 AM near KPHB was perfect for cortisol timing. NABL report accepted at KIMS. Finally understood why exercise wasn't working for me."
"I have PCOD and my gynaecologist asked for Insulin Fasting and Testosterone specifically. The Lotus Diagnostics metabolic panel had both at ₹2,999. Insulin was very high — my doctor confirmed insulin-resistant PCOD and started inositol supplements. The LFT also showed mild fatty liver. This test was the missing piece of my PCOD management."

Metabolic Health & Obesity Profile in Nizampet, Hyderabad — Complete Guide
Why Diet & Exercise Alone Don't Always Work
Millions of people eat carefully and exercise regularly yet continue to gain weight. The answer is almost never willpower — it's usually hidden in the blood. Elevated Fasting Insulin signals insulin resistance. High Cortisol triggers belly fat. Low Testosterone creates a hormonal environment that actively resists weight loss. This 11-test panel measures all of these simultaneously.
At Lotus Diagnostics Nizampet, this metabolic panel costs ₹2,999 with free home collection — Cortisol collected at the critical 7–9 AM window. NABL-accredited reports on WhatsApp within 24 hours.
