Biomarkers included
Thyroid and Antibodies
We check for 1 Thyroid and Antibodies marker:
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
Prostate
We check for 1 Prostate marker:
Total Prostate Specific Antigen
This test will check for the total level of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in the blood, a protein released into the body by the prostate gland.
Increased presence of PSA can indicate possibility of prostate cancer, to be checked with further tests by your GP.
Please avoid strenuous exercise and ejaculation in the 48 hours before the test as this will affect the results. Please do not take biotin supplements for 48 hours before the test. If you are prescribed biotin please speak to your doctor before taking the test.
Biomarkers included
Hormones
We check for 2 Hormones markers:
Prolactin
Testosterone
Hormone imbalances can have a huge impact on your general health and wellbeing, affecting your mood, libido, energy levels and fertility.
Our test will check your level of key hormones for your age and gender, identifying any issues which may be impacting your mood, sex drive, fertility, sports performance or the menopause for females.
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 6 Cholesterol markers:
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Non HDL Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio
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.
