Details about Acute Med 1
What is Acute Med 1?
Acute Med 1 is a multi-system blood test designed to assess liver function, kidney function, cholesterol levels, blood health, electrolyte balance, and diabetes markers in one comprehensive panel.
This profile includes:
• Full Blood Count (FBC)
• Full cholesterol profile
• Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin)
• Kidney function and electrolytes (creatinine, eGFR, sodium, potassium, chloride, urea, phosphate)
• Glucose and HbA1c
It is commonly used when a broad internal overview is needed without the additional urine and iron markers found in Acute Med 2.
Why do I need Acute Med 1?
This test is useful when symptoms are general, unclear, or when you want a deep snapshot of your internal health across major organs and metabolic systems.
Reasons for testing include:
• Persistent fatigue
• Routine health check-up
• Suspected liver or kidney stress
• Cardiovascular risk assessment
• Monitoring blood sugar and diabetes risk
• Checking electrolyte balance
• Investigating unexplained symptoms
Benefits of the test
1. Multi-organ assessment in one panel
2. Detects early liver and kidney stress
3. Assesses cardiovascular cholesterol risk
4. Screens for diabetes and blood sugar imbalance
5. Evaluates blood cell health
6. Checks electrolyte and mineral balance
7. Useful for general health screening
8. Helps guide further investigations if abnormal
Expanded benefit explanation
Acute Med 1 provides a strong baseline of essential organ and metabolic markers, helping clinicians identify areas that require further investigation.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
