Types of Blood Tests Available

We offer hundreds of blood tests, from individual markers to comprehensive profiles. Below are some of our most commonly requested options.

Diabetes Check — HbA1c

What it measures:

Average blood glucose levels over the past 2–3 months, used for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes.

Key biomarker:

HbA1c (reported in mmol/mol or %).

Why it’s useful:

Provides a stable, long-term picture of blood sugar control and supports diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment decisions.

Cholesterol / Lipid Profile

What it measures:

Cholesterol and fat levels linked to cardiovascular risk.

Key biomarker:

Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol ratios.

Why it’s useful:

Helps identify raised cholesterol early and guides lifestyle or medication changes to reduce heart disease risk.

Thyroid Profile

What it measures:

Thyroid gland activity and hormone balance.

Key biomarker:

TSH, Free T4, Free T3 (with antibodies where required).

Why it’s useful:

Supports investigation of symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, temperature sensitivity, and menstrual irregularities.

Liver Function Tests (LFTs)

What it measures:

Markers of liver health and bile flow.

Key biomarker:

ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, total protein.

Why it’s useful:

Detects liver inflammation, alcohol or medication effects, fatty liver disease, or bile duct issues.

Kidney Function

What it measures:

Kidney filtration efficiency and fluid balance.

Key biomarker:

Creatinine, eGFR, urea.

Why it’s useful:

Identifies dehydration, kidney stress, or chronic kidney disease and supports safe medication use.

Iron Status Profile

What it measures:

Circulating and stored iron levels.

Key biomarker:

Serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, TIBC, UIBC.

Why it’s useful:

Helps diagnose iron-deficiency anaemia or iron overload — common causes of fatigue and breathlessness.

Prostate Profile

What it measures:

Markers related to prostate health.

Key biomarker:

Total PSA, free PSA, free:total PSA ratio.

Why it’s useful:

Raised PSA levels highlight the need for GP or urology review and further assessment.

Heart Health Profile

What it measures:

A combined snapshot of cardiovascular risk.

Key biomarker:

Lipid profile, HbA1c, high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP).

Why it’s useful:

Identifies modifiable heart disease risk factors and supports early lifestyle or medical intervention.

Allergy Profile

What it measures:

Immune sensitisation to 295 allergens across foods, pollens, moulds, pets, insects, spices, seeds, and more.

Key biomarker:

Specific IgE antibodies (plus total IgE).

Why it’s useful:

Pinpoints exact allergy triggers, including hidden or cross-reactive allergens, helping reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Health Checks

General Health Check

What it checks

A broad, MOT-style health screen assessing multiple organ systems in one test. It combines essential biomarkers to provide a clear baseline of overall health and is ideal for routine check-ups or investigating non-specific symptoms such as tiredness.

Key biomarkers

  • Kidney function: Creatinine, eGFR, urea
  • Liver function (LFTs): ALT, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin
  • Diabetes: HbA1c
  • Cholesterol: Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, cholesterol ratios
  • Iron status: Serum iron
  • Bone health: Calcium, adjusted calcium
  • Gout: Urate (uric acid)

Why it’s useful

Provides a well-rounded overview of general health and highlights early signs of conditions such as anaemia, diabetes, raised cholesterol, or liver and kidney issues. A popular option for reassurance, routine monitoring, or as a starting point before more targeted tests.

Premier General Health Check

What it checks

A more detailed health assessment that builds on the General Health Check by analysing a wider range of biomarkers. Designed for those seeking deeper insight into blood health, organ function, metabolism, and cardiovascular risk.

Key biomarkers include

  • Full blood count: Red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, platelets
  • Kidney function: Creatinine, urea, eGFR
  • Liver function: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, total protein, globulin
  • Diabetes: HbA1c
  • Cholesterol: Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, cholesterol ratios
  • Iron status: Iron, total iron-binding capacity, transferrin saturation, unsaturated iron-binding capacity
  • Muscle & bone: Calcium, adjusted calcium, creatine kinase (CK)
  • Gout: Urate (uric acid)

Why it’s useful

Reviews multiple body systems from a single blood draw, supporting early detection of hidden conditions, ongoing wellness monitoring, and establishing a detailed baseline for future health tracking.

Well Person Premier Plus Profile

What it checks

An enhanced wellness screen offering broader coverage than the Premier General Health Check. Designed to detect early risk markers, support long-term health, and enable proactive monitoring before symptoms develop.

Key biomarker examples

  • Thyroid: TSH, Free T4
  • Full blood count: Red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, platelets
  • Kidney function: Creatinine, urea, eGFR
  • Liver function: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, total protein, globulin
  • Diabetes: HbA1c
  • Cholesterol: Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, cholesterol ratios
  • Iron status: Iron, total iron-binding capacity, transferrin saturation, unsaturated iron-binding capacity, ferritin
  • Muscle & bone: Calcium, adjusted calcium, creatine kinase (CK)
  • Gout: Urate (uric acid)

Why it’s useful

Offers a wider snapshot of health than standard checks, helping identify issues such as thyroid imbalance, iron deficiency, elevated cholesterol, or kidney stress at an early stage. Particularly suitable for those with a family history of metabolic conditions or anyone seeking reassurance through proactive testing.

Well Man Premier Plus Profile & Well Woman Premier Plus Profile
