Full Biochemistry & Haematology Profile LIS Code: FL BIOCHEM+HAEM
Comprehensive biochemistry and haematology profile for detailed health screening. Includes liver, kidney, blood, and metabolic tests for complete body assessment.
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 mineral essential for bone strength, muscle and nerve function
- 'Adjusted' calcium corrects for albumin level for accuracy
- Abnormal levels can relate to bone, kidney or parathyroid issues
- Total cholesterol divided by HDL cholesterol
- A widely used singlefigure measure of cardiovascular risk
- Lower ratios are generally more favourable
- An enzyme released from muscle, heart or brain tissue when damaged
- Raised levels can indicate muscle strain, injury or heart issues
- Often checked after unusual muscle pain or intense exercise
- 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 older, general marker of inflammation in the body
- Measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube
- Often used alongside CRP for a fuller inflammation picture
- Measures red cells, white cells and platelets
- A foundational test for overall health, anaemia and infection
- The 'Differential' breaks white cells down by specific type
- 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
- A group of proteins involved in immune function and transport
- Assessed alongside albumin to give a fuller liver/immune picture
- Abnormal levels can reflect liver disease, infection or inflammation
- The main sugar circulating in the blood, used for energy
- Raised fasting levels can indicate prediabetes or diabetes
- A cornerstone test for metabolic health
- Often called 'good' cholesterol
- Helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Higher levels are generally protective for heart health
- Often called 'bad' cholesterol
- Can build up in artery walls, raising heart disease risk
- A key target for lifestyle or treatment intervention
- Total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol
- Captures all the 'harmful' cholesterol particles in one figure
- Increasingly used alongside LDL for cardiovascular risk assessment
- A mineral important for bone health and energy metabolism
- Levels are closely regulated by the kidneys and parathyroid hormone
- Abnormal results can reflect kidney or bone conditions
- A key electrolyte important for heart and muscle function
- Abnormal levels can affect heart rhythm and need prompt attention
- Closely linked to kidney function
- 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 key electrolyte that regulates fluid balance
- Abnormal levels can reflect kidney, hormonal or hydration issues
- Commonly checked as part of a routine metabolic panel
- 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
- A waste product from the breakdown of purines in food and cells
- Raised levels are linked to gout and kidney stones
- Also checked as part of general metabolic screening
About this profile
Overview
Our Full Biochemistry & Haematology Profile is a comprehensive blood test that provides an in-depth overview of your general health. This profile combines essential biochemistry markers with a full blood count (FBC) to help assess the function of vital organs such as your liver, kidneys, and heart, as well as your immune system and circulatory health.
Whether you're experiencing symptoms, managing a chronic condition, or simply seeking peace of mind, this panel offers a detailed picture of your internal health.
What’s Included?
This extensive test measures a wide range of biomarkers, grouped into key health categories:
Electrolyte & Glucose Balance
Sodium
Potassium
Glucose
These markers assess hydration, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar control—vital for energy, nerve function, and cardiovascular health.
Kidney Function
Urea
Creatinine
Uric Acid
Indicators of kidney performance and waste elimination. Elevated levels may suggest impaired kidney function or metabolic disorders such as gout.
Bone Health & Minerals
Calcium
Calcium (adjusted)
Phosphates Inorganic
Assesses bone metabolism and potential issues such as calcium imbalances or vitamin D deficiencies.
Liver Function & Proteins
Bilirubin Total
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
Albumin
Globulin
Proteins Total
These markers give a detailed view of your liver function and protein levels, helping detect inflammation, liver disease, or impaired detoxification.
Cholesterol & Lipid Profile
Cholesterol Total
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Triglycerides
Non-HDL Cholesterol
CHOL Risk Factor
This lipid panel evaluates your cardiovascular risk by measuring various types of cholesterol and fats in the blood.
Muscle Health
Creatine Kinase (CK)
A marker of muscle injury or strain, helpful in identifying muscular disorders or recent physical exertion.
Full Blood Count & Inflammation
Full Blood Count (FBC) + Differential
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
These tests evaluate red and white blood cells, haemoglobin levels, and inflammation. Abnormalities may indicate infections, anaemia, or immune system disorders.
