About this test

This profile combines a full blood count with kidney function markers (urea, creatinine with eGFR, and sodium). These are markers commonly used to assess general blood health and kidney function ahead of a surgical procedure.

It scores strongly on value for money, because £73.25 sits well below the median price we see for similarly sized general wellness tests. Results and follow-up score well too, since a doctor reviews the results and turnaround is quick, at around a day. Clinical depth is more modest, reflecting that two biomarkers is towards the lower end for the general wellness tests we track.

The listing sets out the biomarkers, turnaround and collection options, though not a plain description of the test itself or what the report looks like. Collection is by venous draw at a clinic or with a nurse home visit; there is no at-home option. Blue Horizon Medicals works with UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and has traded since 2009.

Who is it for?

This suits people who have been asked to arrange their own pre-operative bloods and want a fast result, since turnaround is around a day. It is a narrow, two-marker profile rather than a full health check, so it is not the right choice if you want broader screening.

We do not have a directly comparable named pre-operative profile from another provider in our data, so we cannot point you to a cheaper or broader named alternative.

How it works

This is a blood test taken by venous draw, either at a clinic or with a nurse home visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option. The sample is analysed for a full blood count and kidney function markers, with results back in around a day and reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.
