METHOD FOR METABOLIC SYNDROM DIAGNOSTICS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61B5/02 A61B5/107 A61B5/85 G01N33/92 G01N33/66 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: diagnostics of metabolic syndrome includes determination of main symptom: central (abdominal) type of adipositas - waist circumference (WC) is more than 80 cm for women and more than 94 cm for men, as well as additional criteria: hypertension (arterial pressure ≥140/90 mm hg), increase of triglyceride level (≥1.7 gram-mol/l), decrease of high density lipoprotein cholesterol level (<1.0 gram-mol/l for men; <1.2 gram-mol/l for women), increase of low density lipoprotein cholesterol level >3.0 gram-mol/l, fasting hyperglycemia (glucose in the blood plasma on empty stomach ≥6.1 gram-mol/l), glucose tolerance distress (glucose in blood plasma in two hours after glucose loading within the limits of ≥7.8 and ≤11.1 gram-mol/l), obstructive respiration disturbances during sleep. Presence of adipositas and two of above additional criteria is the ground to diagnose metabolic syndrome. Developed and proposed algorithm and criteria of metabolic syndrome diagnostics taking into account all the types of Russian health system will allow increasing metabolic syndrome detection rate among the population. If timely and adequate therapy is provided it will lead to significant reduction of risk associated with development of cardio-vascular complications, diabetes mellitus of type 2 and improvement of patients' life quality.

EFFECT: reduction of risk associated with development of cardio-vascular complications and improvement of patients' life quality.
