Leptin Blood Test

* This is not a home test kit. You will need to visit a local lab for testing.

The Purpose of a Leptin Test

Feeling full after a meal? That’s your leptin at work. The fatty adipose tissues in the body produce this hormone, so you don’t take in excess calories and gain weight. Leptin levels are also affected by your weight; when you have more body fat, you produce more leptin, and your levels decrease if you don’t have a lot of body fat. Obesity also raises your risk of resistance, where your brain stops responding properly to leptin’s cues. And high leptin may also be a sign of other medical conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, depression, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

What Does the Leptin Lab Test Measure?

The leptin test tells you how much of this hormone your body is producing.

Who Should Take a Leptin Level Test?

If you have been diagnosed with obesity or you want to get a blood workup done before embarking on a weight loss regimen, then a leptin hormone test may be just right for you. You may also want to order other tests at the same time for a more complete picture of your overall health. This can include a lipid profilethyroid panel, and glucose or insulin tests, among others.

Leptin Test Kit Preparation

No special preparation is required for the blood draw.
