A single ferritin blood test used to check the body's iron stores, relevant to fatigue, anaemia and general iron balance.
1 biomarker as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
This test measures ferritin, the protein that stores iron in the body, to give a picture of your overall iron levels. It is used to help identify iron deficiency, monitor iron overload conditions, or track iron status during pregnancy or ongoing health monitoring.
As a single-marker test, clinical depth is not the differentiator in this comparison group; price is. At £65, Bluecrest's version is the most expensive of the six ferritin tests we compare it with, above Selph at £49, Blue Horizon Medicals at £44.25, Forth at £41 and Medichecks at £39, and considerably above MyHealthChecked's £8 rapid test.
Clarity scores well, with a detailed description, the biomarker named clearly, sample type and turnaround all stated. Results and follow-up score lower, since there is no doctor review included as standard, matching most of Bluecrest's individual blood tests.
A ferritin test suits you if you have symptoms of possible iron deficiency, such as fatigue or breathlessness, or if you want to monitor iron levels during pregnancy or alongside a chronic condition. Given the price gap, if cost is your main concern, Medichecks' Ferritin Blood Test at £39 or Forth's Ferritin Home Blood Test Kit at £41 measure the same single marker for significantly less. Bluecrest's version may still suit you if you'd rather attend an in-person venue than use a home finger-prick kit, or want it added to an existing Bluecrest package. If you have ongoing symptoms, discuss them with your GP alongside any result.
This is a blood test collected by venous draw at a local Bluecrest venue, carried out by a trained health assessment specialist. Your sample is sent to the lab for analysis, and results are typically returned in around 3 to 8 days. Your results report uses a traffic-light system, green, amber or red, to show whether each reading is within, slightly outside, or well outside the expected range, and Bluecrest states it will contact you directly if a critical result is identified. There is no doctor review included as standard.
This ferritin test costs £65, which is 52% above the £42.63 median for the ferritin tests we track, and it is more expensive than every named peer in our data, from Medichecks at £39 to Blue Horizon Medicals at £44.25. It measures a single marker, iron stores via ferritin, with no doctor review included as standard.
