Medicated Weight Loss

Specific blood tests for those on medicated weight loss treatments Saxenda, Wegovy, and Mounjaro…

Our medicated weight loss blood test is specifically designed for anyone who is taking GLP-1 medicated weight loss treatments Saxenda, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.

Serious side effects of Saxenda, Wegovy, and Mounjaro include gallbladder disease, inflammation of the pancreas, and kidney issues.

This blood test will specifically look at:

  • Kidney Function
  • Liver Function
  • Cholesterol Profile
  • Diabetic Profile
  • Pancreas Profile
  • Other markers including iron, general inflammation and bone markers

Pancreas health: This blood test will measure amylase. Amylase is made mainly by the pancreas. It is released from the pancreas to help digest our food. It is usually present in the blood in small quantities. When cells in the pancreas are injured or if the pancreatic duct is blocked (by a gallstone or rarely by a tumour) increased amounts of amylase find their way into the bloodstream.

  • Kidney Function: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Urea, Creatinine, eGFR
  • Liver Function: Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase, AST, ALT, Gamma GT, Protein Total, Albumin, Globulin
  • Inflammatory markers: LDH, CK
  • Bone Markers: Calcium, Phosphate, Uric Acid (Serum)
  • Diabetic Profile: Glucose, HbA1c
  • Cholesterol Profile: Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Non-HDL Cholesterol
  • Pancreatic Profile: Amylase
  • Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity
  • It is best to take this test in the morning before any food and preferably before taking any medication
  • You should not have iron supplements 24 hours before this test
  • You should fast (Not eat or drink anything other than water) for 8 hours before the test
  • Try not to eat meat for 12 hours before the test
  • You should limit your exercise to normal activities 48 hours before the test (for example no  vigorous exercise) since muscle strain from exercise can temporarily increase CK levels in your blood
