Insulin Sensitivity (HOMA-S)
The inverse of your HOMA-IR result.
The reciprocal of a number already on the report.
This one isn’t a test
Insulin Sensitivity (HOMA-S) = 100 ÷ HOMA-IR
No extra sample was taken for this and no extra assay was run. It is arithmetic on numbers already on your report — but it still adds a line to the advertised test count.
Computed from HOMA-IR.
That does not make the number useless — eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. It means it should not be counted as a separate test when you are comparing what a package costs.
