What's Included
Description
It is ideal for those new to blood testing or looking for a simple baseline assessment of their health.
This screening includes a full blood count, offering insight into red and white blood cells, haemoglobin and platelets. These markers can help identify issues such as anaemia, infection or inflammation that may affect energy and overall wellbeing.
It also assesses heart health, including cholesterol levels and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, helping to highlight early cardiovascular risk. Liver function tests provide insight into how well the liver is working, while kidney health markers support assessment of overall metabolic balance.
Finally, the panel includes a diabetes marker (glucose) to help identify early changes in blood sugar control.
This screening is well suited to individuals seeking a straightforward health check, reassurance about key health areas, or a baseline to build upon with more advanced testing in the future.
