What tests are used to diagnose class III obesity?

Healthcare providers may order certain laboratory tests to assess your health to see if you have any health conditions that could be causing weight gain and/or that are highly associated with class III obesity. These tests may include:

  • Complete blood count.
  • Basic metabolic panel.
  • Kidney (renal) function tests.
  • Liver function tests.
  • Lipid panel.
  • Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C).
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test.
  • Vitamin D levels test.
  • Urinalysis.
  • C-reactive protein (CRP) test.

Providers may also recommend other studies like an electrocardiogram (EKG) to check your heart health and sleep studies.
