A 10-marker blood test covering cholesterol, blood sugar and thyroid function, reviewed by a doctor, for adults wanting to understand factors relevant to weight management.
10 biomarkers as listed by LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor.
This panel combines a 7-marker cholesterol profile, HbA1c for blood sugar and diabetes risk, and thyroid function (free T4 and TSH). These markers are commonly used to understand factors that relate to weight, such as thyroid function and blood sugar control, though the provider is explicit that this is not a test for unintentional weight loss, which it says should be checked by a GP.
We do not have named peer tests to compare this one against directly. Within the broader set of metabolism tests we track, its 10 biomarkers place it in the 25th percentile by depth, on the lower side, while its £75 price sits 21% below the £95.13 median for the 10 similarly sized tests in that set.
Results and follow-up scores well here, since results are reviewed by a doctor. Clinical depth is the weakest area, reflecting the lower percentile ranking for biomarker count. clarity and documentation and value for money against the broader benchmark both contribute positively to the overall score.
This suits people who want to understand cholesterol, blood sugar and thyroid factors relevant to weight management, with a doctor reviewing the results. It is not suitable if you are losing weight unintentionally; the provider recommends seeing your GP in that case.
We do not track named peer tests to point you to a cheaper or deeper alternative, though this provider's own General health blood test covers more markers (18), including liver function and vitamin D, for £97.
