A 26-marker blood test covering cholesterol, diabetes risk, kidney and liver function, iron and gout markers. Suited to anyone wanting a low-cost general health blood panel.
16 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness, of 26 in total.
The Advanced Biochemistry Profile checks 26 markers across four areas: a full cholesterol panel (HDL, LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides), kidney health (creatinine, eGFR, sodium and urea), liver health (ALP, ALT, bilirubin and Gamma GT), plus HbA1c for diabetes risk, uric acid for gout risk, iron status and essential proteins. This gives a general picture of metabolic and organ health rather than a single-condition check.
At £90, this is one of the more affordable tests in the advanced health check comparison group, sitting just above Medichecks' £89 Essential Blood Test (38 markers) and below most of the rest of the group, including London Medical Laboratory's £119 Well Person Premier Plus Profile (39 markers) and Medichecks' £135 Advanced Essential Blood Test (43 markers). Those peers cover more markers for a similar or slightly higher price.
The score reflects this trade-off. It scores very well on value for money, since £90 is well below the comparison group's median of £159, and well on trust, given Bluecrest's Trustpilot rating, its own accredited lab and CQC registration. Clinical depth is more middling, as 26 markers is below the group's median of 40, and it loses marks on collection convenience, because it needs a venous blood draw at a clinic with results in around eight days, and on results and follow-up, since it is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits anyone who wants an affordable, broad blood panel covering cholesterol, liver, kidney and diabetes risk markers without paying for a doctor review or a large marker count.
If you want more markers for a similar price, Medichecks' Essential Blood Test covers 38 markers for £89, and London Medical Laboratory's Well Person Premier Plus Profile covers 39 markers for £119.
You attend a local Bluecrest venue for a venous blood draw. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own laboratory, with results typically ready in three to eight days. The report is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
The Advanced Biochemistry Profile packs 26 markers, covering cholesterol, kidney, liver and diabetes risk, into one of the cheaper tests in its comparison group at £90. It is only a pound above Medichecks' 38-marker Essential Blood Test at £89, though several peers offer more markers for a similar price. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
