Screening - Acanthosis

Health > Maintenance > Student Health > Screening - Acanthosis

This tab allows you to maintain data about a student's acanthosis screenings. Acanthosis nigricans is a condition that may serve as an indicator for risk of type 2 diabetes. Acanthosis screenings can help identify students who have high insulin levels and who may be at risk of developing the disease. It can easily be evaluated by means of a visual examination.

This tab is not enabled until you retrieve a student.

NOTE: If you used Mass Screening - Acanthosis to update a student with a positive AN Marker, the Height, Weight, and Blood Pressure (1st and 2nd) fields must be updated on this page.
