What is the Premier General Health Profile?

The Premier General Health Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess overall health by evaluating organ function, metabolic status, iron balance, cardiovascular risk, and blood cell health.

This profile includes:

• Urea, Creatinine, eGFR

• Liver Function Tests (LFTs)

• Iron (Fe), UIBC, TIBC, Transferrin Saturation

• Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)

• Creatine Kinase (CK)

• Calcium & Phosphate

• Uric Acid

• Cholesterol Profile (Total, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides)

• HbA1c

• Full Blood Count (FBC)

Together, these markers provide a detailed snapshot of kidney and liver health, iron status, glucose control, cardiovascular risk, muscle integrity, and overall blood health.

Why do I need a Premier General Health Profile?

Many health issues develop gradually and may not cause symptoms in the early stages. This profile helps identify early abnormalities across multiple systems, allowing proactive management and lifestyle or medical adjustments.

It is particularly useful as a routine health check, baseline assessment, or when symptoms are non-specific and difficult to pinpoint.

You may benefit from this test if you experience:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy

• Unexplained weakness or muscle aches

• Weight changes or metabolic concerns

• Family history of heart disease or diabetes

• Monitoring of kidney or liver health

• Concerns about cholesterol or blood sugar control

• General health optimisation or annual screening

Benefits of the Premier General Health Profile

1. Comprehensive organ function assessment
   Evaluates kidney and liver health in a single profile.

2. Screens for anaemia and blood disorders
   FBC and iron studies assess red and white blood cell health.

3. Assesses long-term blood sugar control
   HbA1c provides insight into average glucose levels.

4. Evaluates cardiovascular risk
   Full cholesterol profile supports heart health assessment.

5. Monitors muscle and tissue health
   CK and LDH reflect muscle and cellular stress.

6. Assesses mineral balance
   Calcium and phosphate support bone and metabolic health.

7. Supports gout and metabolic assessment
   Uric acid helps evaluate gout risk and metabolic function.

8. Ideal for preventive health screening
   Detects early abnormalities before symptoms develop.

Your Premier General Health Profile results explained

Results below reference range

Low values may indicate nutritional deficiencies, anaemia, reduced kidney function, or metabolic imbalance depending on the marker involved.

Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or reduced exercise tolerance.

UK reference interpretation:

• Low: Below laboratory reference ranges

Results within normal range

Results within range suggest balanced organ function, stable metabolism, healthy blood counts, and no significant abnormalities detected.

These results are useful as a baseline for ongoing health monitoring.

UK reference interpretation:

• Normal: Within laboratory reference ranges

Results above reference range

Elevated values may reflect inflammation, liver or kidney stress, high cholesterol, impaired glucose control, muscle injury, or metabolic imbalance depending on the marker.

Clinical correlation may be recommended to determine significance.

UK reference interpretation:

• High: Above laboratory reference ranges
