The 7 STI Profile by PCR test is a type of test that checks for seven different sexually transmitted infections (STIs) using a method called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which looks for the presence of the DNA of the actual virus or bacteria that is present in your body so can find whether you are infected faster than waiting for the body to produce antibodies and test for them.

The STIs tests for are:

Chlamydia trachomatis
Neisseria gonorrhoea

Description:
The Acute Viral Hepatitis Screen is a test that helps to detect if a person has a viral infection in their liver called acute viral hepatitis.

Allergies affect around on... See more UK’s most comprehensive allergy test panel with 295 allergens tested.

Allergies affect around one in four of the general population. Many allergic patients do not take their allergy seriously and are suffering from subsequent complications, e.g. hay fever, allergic asthma or are subject to unnecessary dietary restrictions.

This test can check for 295 relevant allergen sources (except drug allergens, such as penicillin). It also tests for molecular allergens,
which allows for a comprehensive understanding of allergic cross-reactions and a risk assessment of food allergies (to allow for tailormade dietary recommendations). Likewise, allergen-specific immunotherapy can be directed
against the main trigger (available for pollen, house dust mites and insect venoms) of symptoms.

An allergy is not the same as a less serious food intolerance which is difficulty digesting certain foods and having an unpleasant physical reaction to them. This can be genetic and mostly mediated by IgG (not IgE which is measured in this allergy test). See less

Sample Collection Instructions: 2 x EDTA Lavender Top Vacutainer, SST Gold Top Vacutainer

Individual Biomarkers: Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Total Iron-Binding Capacity, Platelet Count, Haematocrit, Lymphocytes, Mean Platelet Volume, Folate, Transferrin Saturation, Haemoglobin, White Cell Count, Ferritin, Red Cell Count, Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration, Red Cell Distribution Width, Monocytes, Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity, Neutrophils, Iron, Basophils, Eosinophils, Vitamin B12, Mean Cell Haemoglobin

Description:
The Anaemia Profile is a laboratory test that measures various parameters related to the red blood cells and their ability to carry oxygen. This test is typically done to diagnose and monitor different types of anaemia, which is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in their ability to function properly.

The Anaemia Profile includes several components such as a complete blood count (FBC), which provides information about the number and size of red blood cells, haemoglobin levels, and haematocrit. It also includes tests like iron studies, which measure the levels of iron in the blood, and vitamin B12 and folate levels, which are important for red blood cell production.

This test is commonly ordered when a person presents symptoms of anaemia such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, or dizziness. It helps healthcare providers determine the underlying cause of the anaemia, such as iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diseases, or genetic disorders. The results of the Anaemia Profile can guide the appropriate treatment and management of the condition. See less

Individual Biomarkers: Antistreptolysin Titre (ASOT)

Description:
The Antistreptolysin Titre (ASOT) test measures the level of antibodies called antistreptolysin O in the blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to a streptococcal infection, specifically caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes.

The ASOT test is primarily used to diagnose a recent or past streptococcal infection, particularly in cases of strep throat or scarlet fever. It helps determine if a person has been exposed to the streptococcal bacteria and if their immune system has produced antibodies against it. See less

Individual Biomarkers: Albumin, Calcium, Potassium, Bicarbonate, Creatinine, Total Bilirubin, Urea, Chloride, Sodium, Globulin, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Total Protein, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), Gamma Glutamyl Transferase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Adjusted Calcium, Vitamin D (25-OH), Alanine Transaminase

Description:
The Bone Screen is a laboratory test that involves analysing a person's blood sample to assess the health and condition of their bones.

This test is typically done to evaluate bone metabolism and to diagnose or monitor various bone-related conditions such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget's disease, and bone cancer. It helps in measuring levels of specific markers and minerals in the blood that are indicative of bone health, such as calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D.

The results of the Bone Screen test can provide valuable information to healthcare professionals for diagnosing and managing bone disorders. See less

Individual Biomarkers: Low Density Lipoprotein, Triglyceride, Cholesterol - Total, HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin), Non-HDL-Cholesterol, Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio, High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol

Description:
This profile analyses some of the major risk factors for heart problems.

This profile will tell you if you have diabetes (HbA1c) - there are over 1 million people with diabetes who do not know they have it. Finding out will enable you to make the lifestyle changes and start treatments that will significantly lengthen your life and improve how you feel every day.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to detect if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test. It will enable you to make the changes you need to reduce your risk of some of the most common causes of death.

Generalised inflammation is tested with a high sensitivity C-reactive protein level. Firstly, Inflammation is bad for your heart. A high CRP level can also indicate the presence of a very wide range of other health problems like autoimmune disease, bacterial infections, osteomyelitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

This test is available as a finger-prick home test as well as a phlebotomy test. See less
