A blood test combining a full cholesterol and lipid panel with HbA1c and CRP, covering three of the main risk factors for heart disease: cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation. Suits anyone wanting a broader heart-risk check than cholesterol alone.
8 biomarkers as listed by London Medical Laboratory.
This profile combines the same cholesterol and lipid markers as a standard lipid panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and related ratios) with HbA1c and high-sensitivity CRP. Cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation are three separate but related risk factors for heart disease, so testing all three together gives a wider view than a cholesterol panel alone.
At 8 markers, this is the deepest test in our cholesterol and lipid comparison group of 18 tests, where the median is 6. That depth comes at a cost: £59 is above the group's £49 median, and £20 more than London Medical Laboratory's own Cholesterol Lipid Profile, which covers 7 of the same cholesterol markers without the CRP addition for £39.
Clinical depth scores at the top of the range for covering more ground than any other test in this group. value for money is lower, reflecting the above-median cost. Collection convenience is strong, with a finger-prick option and results back within a day, and trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report.
This suits you if you want to check cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation together as a broader heart-risk picture, rather than cholesterol alone.
If you only want the cholesterol and lipid markers without CRP and HbA1c, London Medical Laboratory's own Cholesterol Lipid Profile covers 7 of the same markers for £39, £20 less. If cost is the main driver and you don't need the extra markers, Monitor My Health's Total Cholesterol Test starts at £29.
Provide a sample via at-home finger-prick kit (plus £3.99 postage), venous draw at a partner clinic (plus £35), or a home visit from a phlebotomist. The lab analyses the cholesterol, HbA1c and CRP markers, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive your report, typically within a day.
This profile adds HbA1c and a CRP inflammation marker to a full 6-part cholesterol panel, for 8 markers in total. At £59 it costs more than the £49 median across the cholesterol and lipid tests we compare it with, including London Medical Laboratory's own Cholesterol Lipid Profile, which covers 7 of the same markers for £39. The extra £20 buys the added diabetes and inflammation markers.
