Diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders
Metabolism disorders are a group of diseases that affect biochemical processes in the body. These disorders can affect the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and other substances, which leads to many health problems, both at the cellular and systemic level.
Metabolic disorders can be congenital (genetically determined) or acquired during life. The main causes of acquired disorders include an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, stress, infections, as well as diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, metabolic syndrome, or liver disease.
Symptoms can vary greatly, depending on the type and severity of the disorder. The most common include:
- Weight gain or loss: uncontrolled weight gain or loss,
- Fatigue: chronic fatigue, difficulty concentrating,
- Intestinal disorders: bloating, constipation or diarrhea,
- Hormonal disorders: thyroid problems, insulin resistance, menstrual cycle disorders,
- Skin problems: dry skin, acne, pigmentation changes,
- Cholesterol and blood sugar disorders: increased glucose levels (diabetes), increased lipid levels,
- Muscle and joint pain: pain of unknown cause, difficulty recovering after exercise.
At Vedi Clinic, we treat each patient individually and devote the necessary time to make an accurate diagnosis and plan treatment. The process of diagnosing and treating metabolic disorders begins with a consultation with a specialist – a doctor or dietitian.
The next step, unique to our clinic, is the analysis of the patient's body composition using advanced Accuniq BC380 equipment. Thanks to the use of 3 measurement frequencies and 8 electrodes, it is possible to indicate the composition of the entire body of the examined person divided into segments (legs, arms, and torso).
The Accuniq BC380 analyzes (divided into segments):
- Amount of visceral fat,
- Muscle content,
- Lean body mass,
- Water in the body, including extracellular water content, which indicates edema,
- Biological age.
The entire analysis with the Accuniq BC380 device is performed in the office and the results are immediately available. A detailed analysis report is discussed with the doctor and allows for planning further steps in the treatment of metabolic disorders.
Then, the doctor orders the necessary laboratory tests or diagnostic imaging tests to have a full insight into the health situation of the person being examined. Many of these tests are available in our clinic, so the patient can go through the entire diagnostic phase in comfortable conditions.
The patient is fully supported in dealing with metabolic disorders. Specialists in many fields available at Vedi Clinic are prepared to properly guide the patient through the treatment process, which may include lifestyle changes and/or pharmacotherapy.

Q&A
Metabolic disorders are conditions that affect the biochemical processes in the body, such as the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. They can be congenital or acquired, e.g. through an unhealthy lifestyle, stress or disease. Symptoms are diverse and can include uncontrolled changes in body weight, fatigue, intestinal disorders, skin problems and abnormal cholesterol and blood sugar levels. At Vedi Clinic, diagnosis begins with a consultation with a specialist and detailed tests.
The Accuniq BC380 Analyzer is an advanced device that uses bioimpedance technology to accurately analyze body composition. The device measures, among others, the amount of visceral fat, muscle mass, body water and biological age. Thanks to the use of 3 measurement frequencies and 8 electrodes, the Accuniq BC380 allows for segmental analysis (legs, arms, torso), which allows for precise localization of the problem and then treatment planning.
The diagnostic process at Vedi Clinic begins with a consultation with a specialist who collects an interview and conducts an initial health assessment. The patient then undergoes a body composition analysis using the Accuniq BC380, and the results are discussed with the doctor. If necessary, the doctor orders additional laboratory or imaging tests. The results of the analyzer test are available immediately, which allows for quick and accurate further treatment steps.
Yes, the Accuniq BC380 is a safe and non-invasive test. It can be performed on most patients, except for those with a pacemaker or other medical devices that may be sensitive to electrical impulses. The analyzer is an ideal tool for monitoring the body composition of people struggling with metabolic disorders, as well as for those who want to get an accurate picture of their metabolic health. There is no preparation required for the test.
After performing a body composition analysis using Accuniq BC380 and discussing the results with your doctor, the specialist orders further laboratory or diagnostic tests if needed. Based on the full results, an individual treatment plan is developed, which may include lifestyle changes, drug therapy, and regular check-ups. At Vedi Clinic, the patient is under the constant care of specialists who support him at every stage of treatment.
