Advanced Health Test
This advanced health test measures a wide range of blood markers commonly reviewed as part of general health assessment and routine monitoring. It provides a comprehensive overview of markers related to blood health, organ function, metabolic balance, and cardiovascular risk.
The profile includes full blood count parameters, biochemistry markers, kidney and liver function tests, lipid levels, bone-related markers, and long-term blood sugar indicators. Results are provided with laboratory reference ranges to support general understanding of how your levels compare to expected ranges.
This test is intended for informational purposes only and does not diagnose medical conditions or replace professional medical advice. Results should always be interpreted in context and discussed with a qualified healthcare professional if needed.
Full Blood Count
Haemoglobin
Haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
Red Blood Cell Count
Red blood cells transport oxygen and support normal tissue function.
Haematocrit
Haematocrit represents the proportion of blood made up of red blood cells.
Mean Cell Volume (MCV)
MCV reflects the average size of red blood cells.
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
RDW indicates variation in red blood cell size.
Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH)
MCH measures the average amount of haemoglobin per red blood cell.
MCHC
MCHC reflects the concentration of haemoglobin within red blood cells.
Platelets
Platelets are involved in blood clotting and wound healing.
MPV (Mean Platelet Volume)
MPV reflects the average size of platelets.
White Blood Cells
White blood cells play a key role in immune function.
Neutrophils
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell involved in immune response.
Monocytes
Monocytes contribute to immune defence and inflammation regulation.
Basophils
Basophils are involved in immune and inflammatory responses.
Eosinophils
Eosinophils are associated with immune responses and allergic processes.
Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes play a central role in immune system activity.
Biochemistry
Albumin
Albumin is a protein produced by the liver and helps maintain fluid balance.
Creatine Kinase (CK)
CK is an enzyme found in muscle and other tissues.
Iron
Iron is essential for haemoglobin production and oxygen transport.
Total Protein
Total protein reflects the combined levels of albumin and globulins.
Globulin
Globulins are a group of proteins involved in immune and transport functions.
TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity)
TIBC reflects the blood’s capacity to bind and transport iron.
Transferrin Saturation
This marker indicates how much transferrin is bound to iron.
HbA1c (IFCC)
HbA1c reflects average blood glucose levels over the previous 2–3 months.
Kidney Function
Urea
Urea is a waste product filtered by the kidneys.
Creatinine
Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism used to assess kidney filtration.
Sodium
Sodium is an electrolyte involved in fluid balance and nerve function.
eGFR (Caucasian reference only)
Estimated glomerular filtration rate reflects kidney filtering capacity.
Liver Function
GGT
GGT is an enzyme commonly reviewed when assessing liver health.
ALP
ALP is an enzyme linked to liver and bone activity.
ALT
ALT is an enzyme released into the blood when liver cells are stressed.
Total Bilirubin
Bilirubin is a breakdown product of red blood cells processed by the liver.
Bone Screen
Uric Acid
Uric acid is a waste product formed during the breakdown of purines.
Lipids
Total Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a lipid involved in hormone and cell membrane production.
HDL Cholesterol
HDL is often referred to as “good cholesterol” and helps transport cholesterol.
LDL Cholesterol
LDL is commonly reviewed as part of cardiovascular risk assessment.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a form of fat used for energy storage.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Non-HDL cholesterol represents total cholesterol minus HDL.
Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio
This ratio provides additional context for lipid balance.
Who this test may be suitable for
This test may be of interest to adults who would like a broad overview of general health markers in one comprehensive blood test, including organ function, metabolic health, and cardiovascular-related markers.

Deciding on which test to book
Before booking a blood test, it’s helpful to consider what information you would like to learn. Different tests measure different combinations of biomarkers, so reviewing what each test includes can help you choose the most appropriate option for you.
If you are unsure which test to book, you may find it useful to read the individual test descriptions or contact us for general guidance before making a booking. Once your test is booked, all required materials and preparations are arranged in advance to help ensure the process runs smoothly on the day.
Preparing for your blood test
Preparing for your blood test can help make sample collection easier and may reduce the chance of delays or the need for repeat sampling.
Staying calm and well hydrated is recommended. Drinking water beforehand may help improve blood flow and make sample collection more straightforward. Wearing loose or comfortable clothing can also help, particularly if you are attending a clinic appointment.
Some biomarkers may be influenced by factors such as food intake, exercise, alcohol, supplements, or the time of day. If any specific preparation steps are required for your test, these will be provided ahead of time. Where possible, it may be helpful to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy meals before your test unless advised otherwise.
If you are taking regular medication or supplements, you may wish to note this when reviewing your results. Do not stop taking prescribed medication unless advised to do so by a healthcare professional.
If you have any questions about preparation, feel unwell on the day of your test, or are unsure whether to proceed, please contact us before your appointment so we can provide further guidance.
On the day of your test
Allow yourself plenty of time and try to arrive feeling relaxed. Follow the instructions provided for sample collection carefully and ask for assistance if you are unsure at any stage.
After your sample has been collected, you will receive instructions on how to return it (for home tests) or what to expect next (for clinic-based tests). Results are issued once laboratory analysis is complete and are provided with reference ranges for context.
After your results
Results are supplied for informational purposes only and should be interpreted alongside your personal circumstances. If any results fall outside the reference range or raise questions, we recommend discussing them with a GP or qualified healthcare professional.
