Full Blood Count with Five Part White Cell Differential

About this test

This test combines a full blood count with a five-part white cell differential, CRP and ESR, three markers commonly used together to flag inflammation in the body, whether from infection, an autoimmune condition, or bowel disease. With three biomarkers, it sits well above most of the inflammation tests we track for clinical depth.

There's no curated group of directly comparable tests in our data for this exact product, so we can't name specific competitors, but our formula places its £119 price 33% above the typical similarly sized inflammation test, at £89.25.

The clinical depth and clarity scores are both strong, reflecting the multiple markers and a clearly published process. value for money scores lower given the premium noted above, and results and follow-up scores only moderately because there's no doctor review of the result as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits someone with ongoing symptoms who wants a broader first look at inflammation markers, rather than a single test, collected by a nurse at home rather than at a clinic.

Because there's no named peer comparison in our data, it's worth checking prices for similar full blood count and CRP panels from other providers if cost is the main factor.

How it works

A nurse visits you to take a venous blood sample using the kit provided, which you then post to Better2Know's laboratory in the envelope supplied. Results are typically ready within one working day of the lab receiving the sample, accessible in your online patient area, with a notification from the Patient Services team. The fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews the result before you see it.
