Understand your Symptoms

Checking key health markers can help you to check:

Low levels of red blood cells (anaemia), which can cause tiredness
Kidney disease, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances, which can cause changes in urination, swelling, fatigue, high blood pressure, loss of appetite, weight loss, back pain
Liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, alcohol abuse, certain infections, jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, itchy skin, bruising
Cholesterol levels to identify heart disease risk
Signs of inflammation such as recurrent infections, lung, digestive tract, skin issues, muscle and joint pain.
Thyroid function, which can cause tiredness, weight issues, skin and hair problems, memory issues, anxiety and depression.
Risk of diabetes which can cause thirstiness, increased urination, weight loss, fatigue, getting a lot of infections, slow healing wounds.
Male hormone levels, which can cause fertility problems, fatigue, decreased sex drive, and erectile dysfunction.
Prostate health, which can cause urination problems, blood in the urine or semen, abdominal and back pain. It also helps to identify the risk of developing prostate cancer and prostate enlargement.

How long does it take?

Type of sample

Blood sample

What is included in this test

Full blood count (FBC)

Measures the number and type of cells in your blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets and it provides important insights into overall health by evaluating blood components essential for oxygen transport, immunity, and clotting. It can help to detect anaemia, infections, bleeding disorders, and other abnormalities.

Biomarkers:

Complete Blood Count

Liver function

Liver function blood tests measure enzymes and proteins to screen for liver disease and damage. Abnormal results may indicate hepatitis, cirrhosis, cancer, alcohol abuse, medications toxicity, and infections. The panel provides key insights into liver health and function, helping diagnose and monitor conditions affecting this vital organ.

Biomarkers:

Bilirubin Alk Phos AST ALT Gamma GT Total Protein Albumin Globulin

Anaemia markers

Anaemia Markers represent essential indicators to diagnose and monitor anaemia. These markers can provide insights into iron storage and utilisation within the body, helping to determine potential deficiencies or imbalances.

Biomarkers:

Iron Total Iron Binding Ferritin

Inflammation markers

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) provides insights into ongoing inflammatory processes.

Biomarkers:

ESR

Kidney Function

These biomarkers help to diagnose and monitor certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances.

Biomarkers:

Sodium Potassium Chloride Bicarbonate Urea Creatinine eGFR

Cardiac/Muscle Enzymes

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) and Creatine Kinase (CK) are vital indicators used to assess heart and muscle health. Elevated levels can signal damage or stress to these tissues, helping diagnose conditions like heart attacks or muscle disorders.

Biomarkers:

LDH CK

Bone Markers

These are essential biomarkers for assessing bone health and metabolism. Their levels provide insights into bone density, mineral balance, and potential conditions like gout or osteoporosis.

Biomarkers:

Calcium Phosphate Uric Acid

Lipid Profile

These biomarkers measure levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and other fats in your blood. They can help identify the risk of heart-related medical conditions.

Biomarkers:

Triglycerides Cholesterol HDL Cholesterol LDL Cholesterol Non-HDL Cholesterol

Thyroid Function

Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are important health markers for evaluating thyroid function. Their measurements offer insights into the thyroid gland's function and help diagnose conditions like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

Biomarkers:

FT4 TSH

Diabetes Biomarkers

HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) and Glucose are fundamental indicators for monitoring blood sugar regulation. These markers provide insights into an individual's long-term and short-term glucose levels aiding in the diagnosis and management of diabetes.

Biomarkers:

HbA1c Glucose

Vitamins

Used to measure the level of vitamin D in a person's blood. Vitamin D is a crucial nutrient that plays a vital role in bone health, immune function, and various other bodily processes.

Biomarkers:

Vitamin D

Male Hormones

Testosterone levels help to identify fertility problems in men and investigate symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, decreased sex drive, and erectile dysfunction.

Biomarkers:

Testosterone

Prostate Biomarkers

Prostate biomarkers detect potential abnormalities in the prostate, such as prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps in the early detection and monitoring of prostate diseases.

Biomarkers:

Total PSA Free PSA Calculated Ratio
