Biomarkers included
Liver
We check for 8 Liver markers:
Alanine Transaminase (ALT)
Albumin
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
Gamma GT
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Total Bilirubin
Total Protein
Biomarkers included
Muscle & Bone
We check for 1 Muscle & Bone marker:
Calcium
Our muscle and bone health check will identify levels of important enzymes or minerals related to the health of your bones and muscles.
Checking your Calcium levels will ensure you have healthy bone structure and bone formation to avoid complications such as neurological problems, osteoporosis, eye damage and dental problems.
Creatine Kinase (CK) is an important enzyme related to muscle tissues in the body, specifically muscles connected to your skeleton and your heart. High levels of CK in the blood can indicate muscle damage, heart attack or heart disease, or muscle wasting disorders such as muscular dystrophy.
Biomarkers included
Kidney
We check for 4 Kidney markers:
Creatinine
Potassium
Sodium
Urea
Biomarkers included
Iron
We check for 5 Iron markers:
Ferritin
Iron
Total Iron Binding Concentration
Transferrin
Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration
Iron is used in the body to create new blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body.
Low levels of iron can lead to fatigue and reduced energy levels, along with pale skin, weak hair and nails and chest pain or heart flutters.
Too much iron can lead to iron-overload, or hemochromatosis, which can also lead to fatigue and chest pains, as well as joint pain, stomach pain and unexplained weight loss.
We will check your iron levels and your body’s ability to efficiently transport iron via your blood.
Biomarkers included
Gout
We check for 1 Gout marker:
Urate (Uric Acid)
Gout is a type of arthritis typically found in the fingers, wrists, ankles and toes, affecting individual joints or multiple joints at the same time.
It is caused by a build-up of uric acid which deposits crystals into the joints leading to inflammation and significant pain.
Uric acid is typically processed and excreted by the kidneys, however if there is too much in the body or the kidneys are not functioning effectively, it can accumulate in the body. Gout can be treated with steroids or anti-inflammatories once recognised.
Biomarkers included
Diabetes
We check for 1 Diabetes marker:
HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemaglobin)
Type 2 diabetes is a highly prevalent disease and comes with life changing side effects such as damage to your nerves, heart disease, stroke, vision loss, foot problems, miscarriage and kidney problems.
Up to 33% of people in the UK live with prediabetes, when the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not enough for a Diabetes diagnosis, putting them at high risk of developing full Type 2 diabetes.
Blood tests can check your blood glucose levels to understand the average level of sugar in your blood over the past 3 months and determine whether you may have or be at risk of having diabetes or prediabetes.
Biomarkers included
Cholesterol
We check for 5 Cholesterol markers:
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Non HDL Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol
Triglyceride
Cholesterol plays an important role in the general function of the body, however too much can increase your risk of stroke or heart attack. Blood tests to check your levels of good or bad cholesterol can check levels within the blood and identify risks to your health.
For example, LDL cholesterol can lead to fatty deposits inside your arteries causing heart disease, heart attack and stroke, whilst the HDL molecule transports cholesterol and fatty deposits out of the blood stream to the liver, to be broken down and removed – meaning you should be aiming for low LDL and high HDL overall.
Having high cholesterol produces no initial symptoms so the only way to check your health is with a blood test. Cholesterol levels can be easily lowered by stopping smoking, improving your diet, doing more physical activity - but you need to know your levels first.
Biomarkers included
Thyroid and Antibodies
We check for 2 Thyroid and Antibodies markers:
Free T4 (thyroxine)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Your thyroid is a gland in your neck which produces hormones to manage and maintain your metabolism.
If your thyroid under-produces hormones you can experience symptoms such as tiredness and lethargy, dry or brittle hair, dry or sensitive skin and weight gain. An overactive thyroid can lead to weight loss or feelings of anxiety.
Our test will check for thyroid function and where specified in some tests, for thyroid antibodies, which if raised suggest the presence of an autoimmune thyroid disorder.
Biomarkers included
Inflammation
We check for 1 Inflammation marker:
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
Inflammation typically occurs when your immune system tries to remove infections or antibodies from your body, with symptoms including swelling, redness, pain and heat.
Acute inflammation is usually short term and triggered by an injury or infection. Chronic inflammation lasts for longer periods and can be caused by conditions such as asthma, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, or long term exposure to irritants such as pollution.
Ongoing inflammation can cause the body to start fighting healthy cells as well as damaged ones, leading to increased risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, asthma and more. On a day-to-day basis this can cause fatigue, rashes, chest or abdominal pain, sores and fevers.
Our test can identify whether there is inflammation in the body which can lead to damaged blood vessels and potentially a heart attack or stroke.
Biomarkers included
Blood Cells
We check for 1 Blood Cells marker:
Full Blood Count (with 5 part White Cell Differential)
