Biochemistry Profile

About this test

The Blood Chemistry Screen tests a bundle of biochemistry markers from one venous blood sample, covering kidney function (sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine), liver enzymes, a bone profile, a cardiac profile, a lipid profile, glucose, chloride and uric acid. Better2Know reports these as a single combined biochemistry profile rather than as separate line items, which is why it counts as one biomarker in our scoring rather than several.

There is no directly comparable rival test recorded in our database for this exact panel, so we cannot make a direct price or depth comparison. Against the wider set of general wellness tests we track, it is priced modestly above the typical rate, at 11% over the median for tests of a similar size.

It scores well for clarity, since the full list of what is covered, the sample type and the turnaround are all published clearly. It also scores reasonably for collection convenience: while the standard route is a venous draw at a clinic, a home nurse visit is offered too, and results are back within one working day. It loses marks on results and follow-up, since a doctor does not review the results as standard, and on clinical depth, because the wide list of markers is bundled and counted as a single profile rather than reported individually.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a wide snapshot of how your major organs are functioning, kidneys, liver, heart and bones, plus your cholesterol, blood sugar and uric acid, from a single blood draw at a clinic or with a home nurse visit. It is a reasonable starting point if you have no specific symptoms but want a general organ-function check.

We do not have a directly comparable rival test on file to say whether another panel would be cheaper or cover more ground, so it is worth comparing the named markers here against any other general health panel you are considering before you book.

How it works

A nurse takes a venous blood sample at a Better2Know clinic, or you can arrange a home nurse visit; the sample is then sent to the laboratory Better2Know describes as accredited. Results covering your kidney, liver, bone, cardiac, lipid, glucose, chloride and uric acid readings are ready within one working day of the sample arriving, and you can view them in your online patient area; the provider does not state that a doctor reviews them as standard.
