About this test

This test looks at how well your blood clots, using core markers such as APTT, PT, INR, fibrinogen and platelet count, alongside a full blood count covering your red and white cell lines. It is aimed at people taking anticoagulant medication that reduces the blood's ability to clot, or those with a condition that makes their blood clot too easily or not easily enough, so the results are usually interpreted alongside that context rather than read on their own.

With 19 biomarkers this is the deepest test in its comparison group, ahead of a median of 15 across the five tests we compare it with, and it includes more markers than any of its four listed peers, including Medichecks' own Thalassaemia Screen at 18. That depth comes at a price: £99 is 16% above the comparison-group median of £85, and the sample can only be taken as a venous draw at a clinic, with no home nurse visit or finger-prick option offered for this particular test.

The listing itself is reasonably clear, with a short description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround and clear collection details, though it does not describe what the results report looks like. As with all Medichecks tests, results are reviewed by a doctor, and the provider has a 4.5 Trustpilot score from 2,477 reviews, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and more than 25 years trading.

Who is it for?

This suits people who have been told to monitor their clotting status, for example because they are on anticoagulants or have a condition that affects how their blood clots, and who want that alongside a standard full blood count in one visit. Because it requires a venous draw at a clinic, it also suits anyone comfortable attending in person rather than needing an at-home kit. If you notice unusual bruising or bleeding, it is also worth mentioning this to a GP.

If you only need a standard full blood count without the clotting markers, Medichecks' own Full Blood Count test covers 15 markers for £59, and Blue Horizon Medicals' Full Blood Count covers 13 for £54.25, both considerably cheaper than this £99 test.

How it works

You attend a Medichecks partner clinic for a venous blood draw; there is no at-home or finger-prick option for this test. The sample is analysed for clotting markers (APTT, PT, INR, fibrinogen, platelets and MPV) alongside a full blood count, with results typically back within 3 days and reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • 19 biomarkers, more than any of its four listed comparison-group peers.
  • Combines clotting markers with a full blood count in a single test.
  • Doctor review is included with every result.
  • Results are typically back within 3 days.

Cons

  • £99 is 16% above the £85 median for its comparison group.
  • Requires a venous draw at a clinic; no at-home or finger-prick option.
  • £40 more than Medichecks' own Full Blood Count, if you do not need the clotting markers.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Deepest clotting-and-FBC panel in its comparison group
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This blood test pairs core clotting markers, such as APTT, INR and fibrinogen, with a full blood count, giving 19 biomarkers in total, more than any of its four comparison-group peers. At £99 it costs more than Medichecks' own Full Blood Count (£59) and Blue Horizon's equivalent (£54.25), reflecting the extra clotting markers, but there is no at-home option: you must attend a clinic for a venous draw.
