What is a General Well Person Profile?

The General Well Person Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess overall health by evaluating key organs, metabolic balance, blood health, thyroid function, and cardiovascular risk.

This profile combines:

• Urea & Electrolytes (kidney function and mineral balance)
• Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
• Calcium and Phosphate
• Uric Acid
• Glucose
• Full cholesterol profile (Total, HDL, LDL, Non-HDL, Triglycerides)
• Iron studies (Iron, TIBC, Ferritin)
• Full Blood Count (FBC)
• ESR (inflammation marker)
• Thyroid function (TSH, Free T4)

It is designed as a baseline health screen to identify silent problems early.

Why do I need a General Well Person Profile?

Many common conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, liver stress, kidney impairment, anemia, and high cholesterol develop without obvious symptoms.

This test is useful for routine health screening, especially if you want reassurance or early detection.

Reasons for testing include:

• General fatigue or low energy
• Family history of diabetes or heart disease
• Weight changes without explanation
• Routine health check-up
• Monitoring lifestyle and diet impact
• Detecting hidden inflammation
• Assessing iron levels and anemia risk
• Checking thyroid balance

Symptoms that often prompt testing include:

• Tiredness
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Poor concentration
• Frequent infections
• Unexplained aches
• Hair thinning
• Palpitations

Benefits of the test

1. Full organ function overview

Assesses liver, kidneys, thyroid, and metabolic health together.

2. Detects early diabetes risk

Glucose testing reveals blood sugar imbalance.

3. Assesses cardiovascular risk

Full cholesterol panel evaluates heart health.

4. Identifies iron deficiency or overload

Iron studies detect anemia and iron disorders.

5. Detects hidden inflammation

ESR highlights inflammatory activity.

6. Evaluates blood cell health

FBC reveals infection, anemia, or blood disorders.

7. Assesses mineral balance

Calcium and phosphate linked to bone and kidney health.

8. Ideal for routine health screening

Provides a strong baseline for future comparison.

Expanded benefit explanation
This profile acts as an internal “health MOT,” identifying early dysfunction before symptoms become significant. It is particularly valuable for prevention-focused health monitoring.

Step-by-step — How testing works

We offer two UK-wide testing options:

Clinic testing
• Choose your nearest UK clinic
• Attend your appointment
• Blood sample collected
• Laboratory analysis performed
• Results securely returned

Home or hotel visit (+£60)
• Phlebotomist visits your location
• Blood sample collected safely
• No need to travel
• Sample transported to lab
• Results delivered confidentially

Both services are available UK-wide.

Your results explained

Low levels

Low iron, calcium, or thyroid hormone may indicate deficiency or underactivity.

Typical UK ranges:
• TSH: 0.4–4.0 mIU/L
• Free T4: 9–24 pmol/L
• Ferritin:

• Men: 30–400 µg/L

• Women: 15–150 µg/L
  • Glucose (fasting): 3.9–5.5 mmol/L

Low levels may explain fatigue and weakness.

Normal levels

Markers fall within expected healthy ranges.

Interpretation:
Organ function and metabolic health appear stable.

High levels

Elevated markers may indicate organ stress or metabolic imbalance.

Possible findings:
• High cholesterol or triglycerides increasing heart risk
• High uric acid linked to gout or kidney strain
• Raised ESR indicating inflammation
• Elevated liver enzymes suggesting liver stress

Interpretation:
Further clinical review or lifestyle adjustment may be advised.
