What is the Well Person Profile (DL8L)?

The Well Person Profile (DL8L) is a general health screening blood test suitable for adults who want a broad overview of their health. It evaluates multiple body systems, including kidney and liver function, cardiovascular health, metabolic balance, inflammation, and nutritional status.

This profile is designed as a balanced, mid-to-high level health check, offering more depth than basic screening while remaining practical for routine monitoring. Results are reviewed together to provide meaningful clinical context rather than isolated numbers.

It is suitable for baseline testing, annual health reviews, or investigation of unexplained symptoms.

Why do I need a Well Person Profile (DL8L)?

Many common health conditions develop gradually and may not cause symptoms until later stages. Changes in cholesterol, blood sugar regulation, organ function, or inflammation can go unnoticed for years.

This profile helps detect early imbalances so they can be addressed proactively. It is particularly useful for individuals with busy lifestyles, increased stress, family history of chronic disease, or those who want reassurance through structured health testing.

You may benefit from this test if you experience:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy
• Weight gain or metabolic concerns
• Brain fog or poor concentration
• Recurrent infections
• Muscle or joint aches
• Family history of heart disease or diabetes
• Desire for a routine preventative health check

Kidney Function

• Urea & Electrolytes (U&Es)
• eGFR

Liver Health

• Liver Function Tests (LFTs)

Metabolic Health

• Glucose

Heart & Cholesterol Health

• Total Cholesterol
• HDL Cholesterol
• LDL Cholesterol
• Triglycerides

Iron Status

• Iron
• Ferritin

Blood & Inflammation

• Full Blood Count (FBC)
• ESR

Bone & Mineral Balance

• Calcium

Benefits of the Well Person Profile (DL8L)

1. Broad whole-body health overview
   Assesses major systems in a single test.
2. Early detection of health risks
   Identifies changes before symptoms appear.
3. Supports cardiovascular risk assessment
   Includes cholesterol markers linked to heart disease.
4. Investigates fatigue and low energy
   Evaluates iron status, inflammation, and metabolism.
5. Monitors kidney and liver function
   Important for long-term health and medication safety.
6. Supports preventative health screening
   Ideal for routine check-ups and reassurance.
7. Simple but clinically meaningful profile
   Balanced depth without excessive testing.
8. Suitable for ongoing monitoring
   Useful for annual or periodic health reviews.

Your results explained

Low or sub-optimal results

Low or borderline results may indicate nutritional deficiencies, early organ stress, or inflammatory processes. These findings can help explain symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, or reduced resilience.

Typical UK interpretation:

• Values below laboratory reference ranges
• May prompt dietary, lifestyle, or medical follow-up

Normal results

Normal results suggest healthy organ function, balanced metabolism, and lower risk of underlying disease.

Typical UK interpretation:

• Results within laboratory reference ranges
• Routine monitoring may be advised

High or abnormal results

Elevated results may indicate increased cardiovascular risk, inflammation, metabolic imbalance, or organ strain. Results are interpreted together rather than individually.

Typical UK interpretation:

• Values above reference ranges
• May require further testing or specialist referral
