What is being tested?

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a type of fat your body uses for energy. After you eat, extra calories your body does not immediately need are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells. Levels can rise when calorie intake regularly exceeds energy use, particularly from sugary or processed foods. High levels over time may contribute to cardiovascular risk and are usually reviewed alongside cholesterol results.

Total Cholesterol

Total cholesterol is a combined measure of all the cholesterol circulating in your blood. Cholesterol is needed to build cells and produce certain hormones, but balance is important. This result includes both protective and non-protective types of cholesterol, which are measured separately to give a clearer picture.

Non-HDL Cholesterol

Non-HDL cholesterol measures the cholesterol that is not HDL, the “good” cholesterol. It includes LDL and other particles that can contribute to plaque build-up in blood vessels over time. It is a useful marker when assessing overall cardiovascular risk.

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)

LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to the rest of the body. When levels are higher than needed, LDL can deposit cholesterol in the walls of arteries over time. It is commonly called “bad” cholesterol, although it still has normal functions in the body.

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)

HDL helps transport excess cholesterol away from the bloodstream and back to the liver, where it can be processed and removed. It is often described as protective or “good” cholesterol. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with better cardiovascular health.

Cholesterol:HDL Ratio

This ratio compares total cholesterol with HDL cholesterol. It helps assess the balance between protective and non-protective cholesterol rather than looking at one result alone. A lower ratio generally reflects a healthier cholesterol balance.

Apolipoprotein A (ApoA)

A key protein that helps transport cholesterol away from arteries. It provides further insight into cholesterol activity. 

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)

A protein found in cholesterol particles that carry lipids through the bloodstream. Measuring this helps assess the number of these particles for a more detailed view of heart health.

Apolipoprotein B:A Ratio (APBA)

Compares ApoB and ApoA levels to give a more refined understanding of cholesterol balance and cardiovascular health. 

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) Released by the brain to signal the thyroid to produce its hormones. TSH is the primary marker for assessing thyroid function. A raised level often indicates an underactive thyroid.

FT4 (Free Thyroxine)

The main hormone produced and released by the thyroid gland. Together with TSH, T4 gives a complete picture of whether your thyroid is functioning within a healthy range, directly affecting metabolism, energy, and mood.

Ferritin

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron inside your cells, acting as your body's iron reserve. Unlike a standard blood count, which measures iron currently circulating in your blood, ferritin tells us how much iron your body actually has in storage- a more complete picture of your iron status. Iron is essential for making haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Ferritin levels can be influenced by diet, exercise, age, and your body's current demands.

Vitamin B12

A vitamin that your body cannot produce on its own, it must come entirely from diet or supplementation. It plays an important role in energy production, healthy nerve function, and the formation of red blood cells. B12 is found naturally in animal products including meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, and is also available in fortified foods. Levels can be affected by dietary choices, age, and how well your digestive system absorbs nutrients.

Folate

Folate plays a key role in producing and repairing DNA, forming healthy red blood cells, and supporting normal brain function. It works closely alongside vitamin B12, and the two are often measured together. Folate is found naturally in dark leafy greens, lentils, beans, and eggs. Levels can be influenced by diet, alcohol consumption, and how efficiently the body absorbs and uses nutrients. Folate is particularly important during pregnancy for healthy foetal development.

Sodium

The primary electrolyte responsible for fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function. Sodium levels help assess hydration status and overall kidney regulation.

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

Reflects how well your body is breaking down and clearing protein. Elevated levels can indicate changes in kidney function.

Creatinine (Enzymatic)

A waste product produced by muscle activity, filtered out by the kidneys. Creatinine levels are a key indicator of kidney function and muscle metabolism.

eGFR

Provides an overall picture of how efficiently your kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. A key marker of kidney health.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

A liver-specific enzyme that rises when liver cells are under stress. ALT is one of the most direct markers of liver health and normal liver activity.

Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

An enzyme that helps give a broader picture of liver wellbeing. GGT is sensitive to changes in liver function and can be influenced by alcohol, medication, and metabolic factors.

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

An enzyme found in the liver and muscle tissue. AST levels help assess liver health and can also reflect changes in muscle activity or recovery.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

An enzyme found in the liver and bones. Elevated levels can indicate changes in liver function or bone metabolism and help provide broader insight into overall metabolic health.

Albumin

The most common protein in your blood, produced by the liver. Albumin supports fluid balance, transports hormones and nutrients, and is a key indicator of liver and nutritional health.

HBA1C

Reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It helps assess how your body is managing glucose over time. 

White Cell Count

Measures the total number of white blood cells in your blood which is your body's primary defence against infection and illness. Abnormal levels can indicate immune system activity, infection, or inflammation. 

Lymphocytes

A type of white blood cell that plays a key role in your immune response. Lymphocyte levels help assess how well your immune system is functioning and can flag signs of infection or immune imbalance. 

Monocytes

White blood cells that help fight infection and clear damaged tissue. Elevated monocytes can indicate ongoing inflammation or immune system activity. 

Neutrophils

Your body's first line of defence against bacterial infection. Neutrophil levels provide insight into immune health and your body's response to infection or stress. 

Eosinophils

White blood cells involved in the response to allergies, asthma, and parasitic infections. Elevated levels can indicate an allergic reaction or inflammatory condition. 

Basophils

The least common white blood cell, involved in inflammatory and allergic responses. While typically low in number, abnormal levels can provide additional context around immune health.

Red Cell Count

Measures the total number of red blood cells in your blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen around your body. Low levels can indicate anaemia and contribute to fatigue and reduced energy. 

Haemoglobin

The protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen to your tissues. Haemoglobin levels are one of the most important indicators of whether your body is getting enough oxygen to function at its best. 

Haematocrit

Measures the proportion of your blood made up of red blood cells. A key indicator of oxygen-carrying capacity and overall blood health. 

Mean Cell Volume (MCV)

The average size of your red blood cells. Abnormal MCV can indicate different types of anaemia and provide insight into nutritional deficiencies such as B12, folate, or iron. 

Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH)

The average amount of haemoglobin per red blood cell. Helps identify the type and cause of anaemia and provides further context around red blood cell health. 

Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

Measures the concentration of haemoglobin within red blood cells. Helps distinguish between different types of anaemia and assess overall red blood cell quality. 

Red Cell Distribution Width (RCDW)

Measures the variation in size of your red blood cells. A high RDW can indicate nutritional deficiencies or mixed anaemia and is often used alongside MCV for a fuller picture.

Platelets

Small blood cells that play a critical role in clotting and stopping bleeding. Platelet levels help assess clotting ability, bleeding risk, and overall blood health. 

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)

Measures the average size of your platelets. MPV provides additional context around platelet function and cardiovascular health. 

Creatine Kinase (CK)

An enzyme linked to muscle activity. Levels can naturally vary depending on exercise and daily activity, offering insight into muscle recovery and wellbeing. 

Urate

A natural substance your body produces and removes. Measuring levels helps give insight into your overall metabolic balance
