Ensuring Safety and Efficacy:
Key Lab Tests for Semaglutide Therapy
Lipase
Elevated lipase levels can indicate pancreatitis, a potential side effect of semaglutide therapy. Regular monitoring helps in early detection and management of pancreatic inflammation, ensuring patient safety.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
Semaglutide can affect thyroid function, and abnormal TSH levels may indicate thyroid dysfunction. Monitoring TSH ensures that any thyroid-related issues are identified and managed promptly, preventing complications.
A1C (Glycated Hemoglobin)
A1C provides an average blood glucose level over the past 2-3 months. Monitoring A1C helps evaluate the effectiveness of semaglutide in controlling blood sugar levels, guiding adjustments in therapy to achieve optimal glycemic control.
Lipid Panel
Semaglutide therapy has been shown to improve lipid profiles, including reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol. Monitoring these changes helps decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, ensuring that the therapy not only aids in weight loss but also enhances heart health
CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel)
The CMP provides a broad overview of the body’s metabolic state. Monitoring kidney and liver function is essential because semaglutide is metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Early detection of any abnormalities in these organs can prevent serious complications and ensure the safe use of the medication
