Advanced Health Screen

Is the Advanced Health Screen Right for You?

 

This panel is ideal if you are looking for a more detailed health assessment than a routine blood test.

You may benefit from this health screen if you:

• Experience persistent tiredness or fatigue

• Have low energy levels

• Notice hair thinning or hair loss

• Feel run down or frequently unwell

• Want to identify vitamin or iron deficiencies

• Have a family history of diabetes or heart disease

• Want a comprehensive annual health assessment

• Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet

• Are recovering from illness

• Simply want a detailed picture of your health

​

This panel is particularly useful for identifying common nutritional deficiencies that may contribute to everyday symptoms.

Tests Included in the Advanced Health Screen

 

Liver Profile

Tests included: Bilirubin, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, Total Protein, Albumin and Globulin.

These tests assess liver function, bile flow and protein production, helping identify liver inflammation, fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease and other disorders affecting liver health.

Symptoms that may prompt testing include:

• Persistent fatigue

• Upper abdominal discomfort

• Yellowing of the skin or eyes

• Dark urine

• Itching

• Unexplained abnormal liver function

​

Iron Studies

Tests included: Ferritin, Iron, Transferrin and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC).

Iron studies provide a much more detailed assessment than ferritin alone and help determine whether iron deficiency or iron overload may be contributing to symptoms.

Symptoms that may prompt testing include:

• Fatigue

• Hair loss

• Poor concentration

• Breathlessness

• Restless legs

• Reduced exercise tolerance

​

Vitamin Assessment

Tests included: Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and Folate.

Vitamin deficiencies are common and may affect energy levels, immune function, neurological health and bone health.

Symptoms may include:

• Fatigue

• Muscle weakness

• Low mood

• Tingling or numbness

• Poor concentration

• Frequent infections

​

Full Blood Count

A Full Blood Count evaluates your red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

It can help investigate:

• Anaemia

• Infection

• Inflammation

• Blood disorders

Symptoms include:

• Persistent tiredness

• Breathlessness

• Easy bruising

• Recurrent infections

​

Cardiovascular Risk Profile

Tests included: HDL, LDL, Total Cholesterol and Triglycerides.

This lipid profile helps assess your future cardiovascular risk and can identify abnormalities before symptoms develop.

This is particularly important for patients with:

• High blood pressure

• Diabetes

• Obesity

• Smoking history

• Family history of heart disease

​

Kidney Function & Electrolytes

Tests included: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Urea and Creatinine.

These tests evaluate kidney function, hydration and electrolyte balance.

Symptoms that may prompt testing include:

• Swollen ankles

• Fatigue

• Changes in urination

• High blood pressure

• Muscle cramps

​

Diabetes Screening

Tests included: Glucose and HbA1c.

Together these tests provide both a current and longer-term assessment of blood sugar control.

They may help identify:

• Prediabetes

• Type 2 diabetes

• Poor glucose control

Symptoms include:

• Increased thirst

• Frequent urination

• Fatigue

• Blurred vision

• Unexplained weight loss

​

Minerals

Tests included: Calcium, Corrected Calcium, Phosphate and Magnesium.

These minerals play essential roles in bone health, nerve function, muscle contraction and heart rhythm.

Testing may be appropriate if you experience:

• Muscle cramps

• Bone pain

• Weakness

• Tingling sensations

• Fatigue

​

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

Although included within your liver profile, ALP is also an important marker of bone health and bile duct function.

Raised levels may occur with:

• Bone disorders

• Liver disease

• Bile duct obstruction

• Periods of increased bone turnover

​

​

Why These Tests Are Grouped Together

 

The Advanced Health Screen has been carefully designed to investigate many of the most common medical causes of fatigue, reduced wellbeing and nutritional deficiency while also providing a comprehensive overview of your general health.

​

Rather than focusing on a single organ system, this panel combines investigations that assess your liver, kidneys, cardiovascular system, blood health, vitamin levels, iron stores, diabetes risk and mineral balance. This allows your doctor to identify patterns that may require further investigation, detect potential health concerns at an early stage, or provide reassurance when your results are within the normal range.

​

​

Understanding Your Results

 

Your blood sample will be analysed by Eurofins Biomnis, one of Europe's leading accredited medical laboratories.

​

Most results are available within 5–7 working days, although some routine tests may be reported sooner.

Your results should always be interpreted alongside your symptoms, medical history and any medications you may be taking. If appropriate, one of our doctors can review your results with you, explain any abnormal findings and recommend further investigations, treatment or lifestyle advice.
