About this test

This test groups several organ-function areas into one blood sample: a bone profile (calcium, phosphate and protein), a cardiac profile, a kidney profile (covering markers such as sodium, potassium, urea and creatinine), a liver profile, and a lipid profile, alongside a full blood count with a 5-part differential, ESR (a general inflammation marker), glucose, uric acid and chloride.

In Better2Know's essential health check comparison group, this test's ten bundled areas sit below the median of 18 across the 32 tests we track, and at £195 it costs about 73% more than the £113 group median. Cheaper alternatives with more individually listed markers include YorkTest's Essential Health Check (18 markers, £55) and Monitor My Health's Full Health Screen plus TPO (15 markers, £72); Better2Know's own Complete Blood Chemistry Test Nurse Kit covers the same ten areas for £79.95.

The listing scores well for clarity, setting out the sample type, collection options and turnaround clearly. It scores poorly on price given how far it sits above the group median for a below-median marker count, and only moderately on results and follow-up, since a doctor does not review the results as standard.

Who is it for?

This could suit someone who wants a single organ-function overview, covering kidney, liver, bone, cardiac and lipid areas plus a full blood count, without picking individual tests, and who values Better2Know's next-day turnaround. If cost per marker matters, Better2Know's own Complete Blood Chemistry Test Nurse Kit covers the same ten areas for £79.95, and YorkTest's Essential Health Check covers 18 markers for £55, both considerably cheaper than this £195 version.

How it works

A clinician takes a venous blood sample at a Better2Know clinic or during a nurse visit, which is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are available within one working day of the sample arriving, viewable in your secure online patient area; a doctor does not review them as standard, though Better2Know can arrange a private consultation separately.
