About this test

This test reports six autoantibody markers: antinuclear antibodies, gastric parietal cell antibodies, LKM antibodies, mitochondrial antibodies, smooth muscle antibodies, and thyroid peroxidase antibodies. These are commonly used together to help investigate possible autoimmune activity affecting organs such as the stomach, liver, muscle and thyroid, guiding whether further specific testing might be useful rather than providing a diagnosis on their own.

Compare Health Test does not currently list directly comparable peer tests for this specific comparison group. Against the wider set of similarly sized inflammation tests we track, the clinical depth score places this test's 6 markers in the 89th percentile, reflecting unusually broad coverage for its category, while the value for money score reflects £199 sitting around 47% above the typical cost for tests of similar size.

Documentation scores well for a clearly published listing. Collection convenience is middling, requiring a venous draw with a home nurse option. Trust signals score highly, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot rating, its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, doctor review included with every test, and a trading history since 2001.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you have unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, digestive issues or persistent inflammation and want a broad first look across several autoimmune-linked antibodies in one test, with a doctor's comment included. Because it prioritises breadth over cost, it may not be the most economical route if you and your GP have already narrowed things down to one specific antibody or condition, in which case a single-marker test would cost less.

How it works

The sample is a venous blood draw, taken at a Medichecks clinic, via a home nurse visit, or at another clinic offering venous collection; it is not a self-collected at-home kit. The lab tests for the six autoantibody markers in the panel. Results are typically back in around 5 days and a doctor reviews them before you receive your report.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers six autoantibody markers across several organ systems in one test
  • Broader panel than most similarly sized inflammation tests we track
  • Doctor review included with the result

Cons

  • Priced around 47% above the typical cost of similarly sized inflammation tests we track
  • No directly comparable peer tests are logged for this one
  • Requires a venous draw rather than a self-collected sample

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Wide autoantibody panel, priced well above typical
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This panel checks 6 autoantibody markers, including antinuclear, thyroid peroxidase and gastric parietal cell antibodies, reviewed by a doctor in around 5 days, for £199. No directly comparable peer tests are logged for this provider, but its 6 markers place it toward the top of similarly sized inflammation tests we track, while the price sits about 47% above their typical cost. It suits breadth of screening over budget.

Score breakdown

  • Clarity and documentation 8.0/10

    The listing publishes a short description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.

  • Clinical depth 9.9/10

    6 biomarkers, placing it in the 89th percentile of inflammation tests we track.

  • Collection convenience 8.0/10

    A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 5 days, slower than similar tests.

  • Results and follow-up 7.0/10

    Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.

  • Trust signals 9.5/10

    Trustpilot 4.5 from 2,477 reviews; accredited lab (UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs); doctor review as standard; trading 25+ years.

  • Value for money 4.1/10

    £199.00 against a median of £135.25 for the 9 similarly sized inflammation tests we track (+47%).
