Wegovy Monitoring Blood Test

This is a 21-marker blood panel covering kidney, liver, lipid and blood sugar markers, intended for people taking Wegovy (semaglutide) for weight management who want to monitor these systems over time. It suits ongoing monitoring rather than one-off screening.

About this test

This panel covers 21 markers across kidney function (sodium, urea, chloride, eGFR, creatinine), liver function (total protein, albumin, globulin, ALP, ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin), a lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, HDL percentage, LDL, non-HDL), HbA1c and lipase. Blue Horizon markets this combination for people taking Wegovy (semaglutide) for weight management, as these are the organ systems and metabolic markers commonly monitored during periods of significant weight change or when starting a new medication. This is a monitoring panel rather than a diagnostic one, and any results that concern you are worth discussing with your GP or prescriber.

Blue Horizon does not group this test against named competitors in our data. Against the wider set of similarly sized metabolism panels we track, its price of £129.75 is close to the median of £124.38, only a few pounds above it. Its 21 markers place it among the more comprehensive metabolism panels we track, which is reflected in a strong clinical depth score, and the listing is detailed, covering the full biomarker list, sample type, collection options and turnaround.

The score is held back mainly by collection convenience, since the sample must be taken as a venous draw at a clinic or via a nurse home visit rather than an at-home kit, with results back within five days. Trust signals reflect Blue Horizon's Trustpilot rating and its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs; there is no doctor review as standard, though you can opt in at checkout.

Who is it for?

This panel could suit you if you are taking Wegovy (semaglutide) for weight management and want to keep track of kidney, liver, lipid and blood sugar markers over time, for example before starting treatment or every few months afterwards. It is a monitoring tool rather than a substitute for advice from your GP or prescriber, so discuss any results that concern you with them.

If you do not need this specific combination of markers, or you are not taking Wegovy, a smaller or more general panel may suit you better and cost less, since this one is priced for its full 21-marker scope rather than as a budget option.

How it works

This is a blood test covering 21 markers across kidney, liver, lipid, blood sugar and pancreatic function. You give a venous blood sample, either at a clinic or via a nurse home visit; there is no at-home collection option for this test. Once your sample reaches the laboratory, results are typically ready within five days. A doctor's review of your results can be added as an opt-in extra at checkout.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 21 markers across kidney, liver, lipid, blood sugar and pancreatic function in one panel.
  • Results are typically ready within five days of your sample reaching the lab.
  • Priced close to the median for similarly sized metabolism panels we track.
  • Detailed listing explains what each group of markers covers and why it is included.

Cons

  • No at-home collection option; requires a venous draw at a clinic or nurse visit.
  • At £129.75, this sits slightly above the median price for metabolism panels of a similar size that we track.
  • No doctor review as standard, though you can opt in at checkout.
