Combines the standard six-marker cholesterol panel with an HbA1c blood sugar marker in one at-home finger-prick test, giving a combined view of heart and metabolic risk factors.
7 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test combines the standard six lipid markers (HDL, LDL, non-HDL and total cholesterol, the cholesterol ratio, and triglycerides) with HbA1c, a marker commonly used to assess average blood sugar levels over recent months. Together they give a combined view of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors from a single at-home sample.
It sits in the same Cholesterol and lipid profile comparison group as our other Medichecks cholesterol tests, alongside 18 tests with a median of 6 biomarkers and a median price of £49. Its seven markers beat the group median by one, but at £55 it also costs 12% more than the median. Medichecks' own Cholesterol Blood Test covers six of the same lipid markers for £39 if you do not need the added HbA1c check, and two other peers, London Medical Laboratory's Cholesterol Lipid Profile (£39) and Thriva's Cholesterol (Lipid profile) test (£47.70), match its seven-marker count for less, though we cannot confirm either includes an HbA1c-equivalent marker.
The scores reflect this: clinical depth scores strongly since its seven markers beat the group median; value for money is the weak point, since it costs more than the group median price; collection convenience is good but not the maximum, since it offers only one collection route (at-home finger-prick) rather than the clinic and nurse-visit alternatives Medichecks offers on some of its other cholesterol tests; trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard Medichecks facts, including a Trustpilot rating of 4.5 from 2,477 reviews, UKAS ISO 15189 accredited partner labs, doctor review included as standard, and 25 years trading since 2001.
This suits people who want a single at-home test covering both cholesterol and blood sugar risk factors, rather than ordering two separate tests. If you only need the cholesterol side and want to save money, Medichecks' own Cholesterol Blood Test covers six of the seven markers here for £39. If you want the same seven-marker depth for less, London Medical Laboratory's Cholesterol Lipid Profile is priced at £39, though we cannot confirm it includes the same HbA1c marker.
You provide an at-home finger-prick blood sample. The fact sheet does not detail what happens once the sample reaches the lab beyond the seven markers being measured. Results are back within 3 days, and every test comes with a doctor's review as standard.
For £55, this at-home finger-prick test adds an HbA1c marker to the standard six-marker cholesterol panel, giving seven results in total. That is 12% above the £49 median for cholesterol and lipid tests we track, and Medichecks' own Cholesterol Blood Test covers six of the same markers for £39 if you do not need the added marker. Results take 3 days and come with a doctor's review.
