About the Test

What's Tested?

This profile includes an extensive list of tests:


• U&Es (Urea & Electrolytes): Assesses kidney function and electrolyte balance.
• LFTs (Liver Function Tests): Evaluates liver health by measuring enzymes, proteins, and substances produced or excreted by the liver.
• Calcium: Important for bone health and neuromuscular function; abnormal levels can indicate bone or kidney disorders, hormonal imbalances, or other medical conditions.
• Phosphate: Helps diagnose and monitor bone diseases or conditions related to impaired kidney function.
• Uric Acid: Used to diagnose gout and kidney stones, and to monitor uric acid levels in people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
• Glucose: Measures blood sugar levels to screen for, diagnose, and monitor diabetes.
• Total Cholesterol: An important test for assessing cardiovascular risk.
• Triglycerides: Measures the level of specific type of fat in the blood; important for assessing risk of heart disease.
• HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): Often referred to as 'good cholesterol'; important for heart health assessment.
• LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Known as 'bad cholesterol', a critical measure for cardiovascular risk.
• Non-HDL Cholesterol: Represents all the 'bad' cholesterol values combined, helping further refine the risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Iron, TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity), Ferritin: These tests evaluate iron status and help diagnose iron-deficiency anemia or iron overload.
• FBC (Full Blood Count): Provides detailed information about blood cells to help detect a variety of disorders including anemia, infection, and even leukemia.
• ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate): Used to detect inflammation associated with conditions such as infections, cancers, and autoimmune diseases.
• FT4 (Free Thyroxine), TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Key tests for assessing thyroid function and identifying disorders such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
