Short Biochemistry Profile - (£62)

The Short Biochemistry Profile is a focused blood test designed to evaluate essential biochemical markers that reflect your body’s overall metabolic and organ health. It provides valuable information about liver, kidney, and cardiovascular function, helping to detect potential imbalances and monitor your internal health effectively.

Who is this profile for?
This profile is suitable for individuals who want a quick yet detailed overview of their metabolic health and organ performance. It is commonly used during routine check-ups, for ongoing condition management, or to assess the effects of medications, diet, or lifestyle adjustments.

What can be detected
The Short Biochemistry Profile measures key biochemical parameters that help assess vital organ function and metabolic stability:

Liver function:
Assesses liver enzymes and proteins, including ALT, AST, ALP, Bilirubin, and Albumin, to evaluate liver performance and detect inflammation or damage.

Kidney function:
Includes Urea, Creatinine, and eGFR to measure how effectively your kidneys filter waste and maintain fluid balance.

Glucose:
Monitors blood sugar levels to assess energy metabolism and detect early signs of diabetes or insulin resistance.

Electrolyte balance:
Measures Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride to evaluate hydration, nerve, and muscle function.

Lipid profile:
Includes Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and Triglycerides to assess cardiovascular health and detect early signs of dyslipidemia or heart disease risk.

By combining these parameters, the Short Biochemistry Profile provides a detailed overview of your internal health, supporting early detection and prevention of chronic conditions.

When to get tested
This test is ideal for general health evaluations, ongoing monitoring of existing medical conditions, or assessing the impact of medications and lifestyle modifications. It is also suitable for individuals experiencing fatigue, digestive issues, or other symptoms related to organ dysfunction.

Fasting requirements
Fasting for 8–12 hours before the test is recommended for accurate glucose and lipid readings. Only water should be consumed during this fasting period.
