Detox Profile
Comprehensive detox blood test assessing liver, kidney, cholesterol, glucose, and iron levels. Ideal for gym-goers and those wanting to restore optimal body balance.
What's included in this profile
- An enzyme found mainly in the liver
- Raised levels can indicate liver inflammation or damage
- Commonly checked alongside AST to assess liver health
- The main protein made by the liver
- Helps maintain fluid balance in the blood
- Low levels can indicate liver or kidney problems, or poor nutrition
- An enzyme found in the liver, bone and bile ducts
- Raised levels can point to liver, bile duct or bone conditions
- Interpreted alongside other liver markers for context
- An enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles
- Raised levels can suggest liver or muscle damage
- Used alongside ALT to help pinpoint the cause of liver stress
- A waste product from normal muscle breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function
- Used to calculate eGFR (estimated kidney filtration rate)
- An enzyme sensitive to liver and bile duct problems
- Often raised with alcohol intake or bile flow issues
- Helps confirm whether a raised ALP is liverrelated
- Often called 'good' cholesterol
- Helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Higher levels are generally protective for heart health
- Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 23 months
- The main test used to diagnose and monitor diabetes
- Not affected by what you ate that day, unlike glucose
- Often called 'bad' cholesterol
- Can build up in artery walls, raising heart disease risk
- A key target for lifestyle or treatment intervention
- The amount of iron currently circulating in the blood
- Fluctuates through the day, so interpreted alongside ferritin
- Low levels can contribute to irondeficiency anaemia
- A breakdown product of old red blood cells, processed by the liver
- Raised levels can cause jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)
- Helps assess liver function and red cell turnover
- The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood
- A key marker for cardiovascular risk
- Interpreted alongside HDL, LDL and triglycerides
- The combined total of albumin and globulin in the blood
- Reflects overall nutritional and liver status
- Abnormal results prompt a closer look at albumin/globulin individually
- A type of fat found in the blood, from food and the liver
- Raised levels are linked to heart disease and metabolic conditions
- Affected by diet, alcohol and blood sugar control
- A waste product from protein breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function or dehydration
- Interpreted alongside creatinine for a fuller picture
- An estimate of how well the kidneys are filtering blood
- Calculated from creatinine, age and sex
- The key measure used to stage kidney function
About this profile
DETOX Profile
The DETOX Profile is a complete health check designed for individuals who want to maintain optimal wellness and monitor their body’s internal balance. Ideal for active individuals, gym-goers, and those who enjoy social lifestyles, this profile evaluates essential organ functions and metabolic markers to ensure your body is performing at its best.
What can be detected?
This profile measures key biomarkers that provide insights into vital areas of your health:
Lipid Panel: Assesses cholesterol and triglyceride levels to evaluate cardiovascular health.
Liver Function Tests (LFTs): Measures enzymes, bilirubin, and protein levels to detect liver stress or damage, especially following alcohol consumption or intense exercise.
Kidney Function Tests: Includes creatinine, urea, and eGFR to monitor kidney filtration and toxin removal.
HbA1c: Indicates average blood glucose levels over the past 2–3 months, identifying diabetes risk or blood sugar imbalance.
Iron Studies: Evaluates iron concentration and storage, helping detect deficiency or overload that may cause fatigue or weakness.
Indications for testing
This test is recommended for:
– Individuals who consume alcohol or are recovering after social events.
– Gym enthusiasts monitoring recovery, organ function, and energy levels.
– Those wanting to assess cholesterol, blood sugar, liver, and kidney performance.
– Individuals seeking early detection of metabolic imbalances and nutrient deficiencies.
Special instructions
– Fast for 8–12 hours before the test for accurate lipid and glucose readings.
– Stay hydrated before your appointment to improve sample quality.
– If taking medication, consult your GP beforehand to determine any potential impact on results.
Key points
This profile supports proactive health management by identifying early signs of liver strain, kidney stress, elevated cholesterol, diabetes risk, and iron deficiency. It’s an ideal wellness tool for those looking to restore and maintain peak physical performance and overall vitality.
