Common abnormalities with C classification and their meanings
Common findings in C-grade classification include abnormalities in blood sugar, blood pressure, lipids, liver function, and urine tests.
Based on the values that result in a C rating according to the standards of the Japan Society of Comprehensive Medical Care and Preventive Medicine, we will explain their meaning.
- Blood glucose/HbA1c
Fasting blood sugar levels of 110-125 mg/dL and HbA1c of 6.0-6.4% are within the range that suggests prediabetes or early impaired glucose metabolism. If left untreated, it can progress to diabetes. - blood pressure
140-159/90-99 is already in the high blood pressure range. Even without symptoms, if it persists for a long time, it carries risks of stroke, heart failure, and decreased kidney function. - Lipid
LDL cholesterol of 140-179 mg/dL, triglycerides of 300-499 mg/dL, and HDL cholesterol of 30-39 mg/dL are values that increase the risk of arteriosclerosis. This can lead to myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. - Liver function
AST 36-50, ALT 41-50, and γGT 81-100 are in a range that suggests fatty liver, alcohol consumption, or liver damage. It's important not to overlook these results just because they are "slightly elevated."
