An at-home urine test covering 11 markers including blood, ketones, glucose and protein, giving a broad check of kidney, urinary and metabolic health.
5 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness, of 11 in total.
This test analyses 11 markers in a urine sample, including blood, ketones, glucose, protein and crystals, giving a broad snapshot of kidney and urinary tract health as well as picking up signs relevant to diabetes. It is a wider urinalysis panel than a basic dipstick test covering just one or two markers.
We do not currently track a directly comparable multi-marker urinalysis test from another provider, so we cannot say how the £65 price compares in the open market. Against the broader set of similarly sized liver and kidney tests we track, this sits above the £48.80 median, though it also covers more ground than most of that group, with 11 markers placing it at the top of the range for clinical depth.
The score is helped by that breadth and by being one of the few Bluecrest tests you can do entirely at home, which improves its collection convenience score compared with the venous blood tests in the range. It is held back on price relative to the wider liver and kidney group, and on results and follow-up, because there is no doctor review as standard.
This suits anyone who wants a broad, at-home check of urinary and kidney health, for example if you have symptoms like frequent or painful urination, or want to monitor a previously diagnosed condition such as a urinary tract infection. Because we do not have a directly comparable multi-marker urinalysis test from another provider in our data, we cannot point you to a cheaper or deeper alternative here. Symptoms such as blood in the urine or persistent pain should be discussed with a GP rather than waited on.
You collect a urine sample at home using Bluecrest's self-collection kit and post it to the lab; no venue visit is needed for this test. The sample is analysed at Bluecrest's own UKAS ISO 15189 accredited laboratory across 11 markers, with results typically back within 3 to 8 days. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
