Short Biochemistry & Haematology Profile - (£83)

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.
