Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar due to impaired insulin production or use, leading to potential long-term health complications including heart and kidney disease.
Learn MoreHypercholesterolemia
Hypercholesterolemia, marked by elevated blood cholesterol, especially LDL, can cause arterial plaque buildup and cardiovascular diseases due to diet, inactivity, and genetics.
Learn MoreHyperparathyroidism
Hyperparathyroidism occurs when overactive parathyroid glands produce excess PTH, causing high calcium levels and potential complications in bones, kidneys, and other bodily systems.
Learn MoreHyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism, characterized by excessive thyroid hormone production, accelerates metabolism and can result from Graves' disease, toxic goiter, thyroiditis, or excessive iodine intake.
Learn MoreHypertriglyceridemia
Hypertriglyceridemia, characterized by elevated blood triglycerides, arises from genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors like obesity and diet, and increases risk of heart disease and pancreatitis.
Learn MoreHypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism, often caused by Hashimoto's, thyroiditis, or hyperthyroidism treatments, results from insufficient thyroid hormone production due to autoimmune issues, medication, or iodine deficiency.
Learn MoreImpaired Fasting Glucose
Impaired Fasting Glucose, or prediabetes, signifies elevated blood sugar after fasting, signaling insulin resistance or insufficient insulin, increasing risks for Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Learn MoreMixed Hyperlipidemia
Mixed hyperlipidemia involves elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, significantly increasing cardiovascular risk due to genetic and lifestyle factors impacting lipid metabolism, requiring early detection.
