Short Biochemistry & Haematology Profile LIS Code: SHORT BIOCHEMOS
Assess your liver, kidney, metabolic, and blood health with the Short Biochemistry & Haematology Profile at Vitalync Diagnosis. Includes key markers for early detection and wellness monitoring.
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
- 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
- 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
- The main sugar circulating in the blood, used for energy
- Raised fasting levels can indicate prediabetes or diabetes
- A cornerstone test for metabolic health
- 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
- 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
- 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
The Short Biochemistry & Haematology Profile is a comprehensive health screening that evaluates essential biochemistry and blood parameters to provide a clear picture of your overall health. This test assesses vital organ function, metabolic balance, and blood composition, helping to detect potential imbalances or underlying health issues early.
Who is this profile for?
This profile is ideal for individuals who want a concise yet detailed overview of their metabolic and haematological health. It is suitable for routine check-ups, general health assessments, and monitoring of ongoing medical conditions or treatments. It is also beneficial for individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, or other non-specific symptoms that may relate to blood or metabolic health.
What can be detected
This profile combines both biochemistry and haematology markers for a thorough evaluation:
Biochemistry markers:
Assess the health of key organs, including the liver and kidneys, and measure metabolic and lipid balance. These markers help detect abnormalities in glucose levels, electrolyte balance, and organ performance, supporting early diagnosis and prevention of chronic diseases.
Full Blood Count (FBC):
Provides a complete analysis of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps identify anemia, infections, inflammation, and other blood disorders by evaluating oxygen-carrying capacity, immune response, and clotting function.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR):
Measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube, an important indicator of inflammation or infection within the body. Elevated ESR can point to inflammatory or autoimmune conditions.
Together, these markers give a holistic understanding of your blood and metabolic health, helping clinicians diagnose, manage, and monitor overall well-being effectively.
When to get tested
This test is recommended for general health screening, ongoing condition monitoring, or assessing the effects of medication and lifestyle changes. It is also useful for individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, or symptoms suggesting possible liver, kidney, or blood-related concerns.
Fasting requirements
Fasting for 8–12 hours prior to the test is recommended to ensure accurate results for glucose and lipid measurements. Only water should be consumed during this fasting period.
