Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common abnormalities seen in metabolic syndrome include increased triglycerides (TG), weight, and blood pressure. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels are typically decreased in metabolic syndrome, not increased. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) are not typically used as markers for metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a cluster of conditions that occur together, including increased triglycerides (TG), weight, and blood pressure (BP). Additionally, there may be decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). However, the answer choice of "increased TG, HDL, and BP" is contradictory as elevated TG and BP are part of metabolic syndrome, while increased HDL is not. The answer choice of "decreased MCHC and HgbA1c" is not related to metabolic syndrome. The answer choice of "decreased HDL, TG, and BP" is partially correct but does not include the critical component of increased weight.
