Iron and FBC Blood Test
19-marker iron and blood count panel, 37% cheaper
A 19-marker blood panel combining a full blood count with iron studies, for anyone investigating persistent tiredness, weakness or possible anaemia.
Covers 28 markers spanning cholesterol, liver, kidney, iron, vitamins and an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, for a broad look at diet and lifestyle factors in your blood.
28 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test covers 28 biomarkers, combining a broad diet and lifestyle panel, cholesterol status, liver and kidney function, iron levels, key vitamins and cortisol, with an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio (ARA to EPA) not included in Medichecks' narrower panels. The omega ratio is commonly used as a marker of dietary fat balance, alongside the other markers that reflect organ function and micronutrient status.
With 28 markers this sits in the 99th percentile among the vitamins and minerals tests we track, making it one of the broadest panels in its category. That breadth comes at a cost: £178 is 50% above the £119 median for similarly sized tests in the category, and this is also one of the slower Medichecks tests to turn around, with results taking around 23 days rather than the handful of days typical elsewhere in the range.
You will need to attend a clinic, arrange a home nurse visit, or have a venous draw taken, as there is no finger-prick kit. Every result is reviewed by a doctor, and Medichecks holds a 4.5 Trustpilot score from 2,477 reviews, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and more than 25 years trading, though those trust signals are consistent across the whole range rather than specific to this test.
This suits anyone who specifically wants an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio alongside a broad diet and lifestyle blood panel, and who is not in a hurry, given the roughly 23-day turnaround. It gives a wide view across cholesterol, liver, kidney, iron and vitamin status alongside that fatty acid marker.
If you do not need the omega ratio and want a faster result, a narrower diet and lifestyle or vitamins panel from the same range would cover similar core markers with a turnaround of a few days rather than several weeks, and at a lower price. It is also not the right choice if you need results quickly, since 23 days is considerably longer than most tests in this category.
You attend a Medichecks clinic, arrange a home nurse visit, or have a venous blood draw taken; there is no finger-prick at-home kit for this test. The lab analyses the sample for cholesterol, liver, kidney, iron, vitamin, cortisol and omega fatty acid markers, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive them. Turnaround is around 23 days, longer than most tests in the range.
This 28-marker panel adds an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio to a broad diet and lifestyle screen covering cholesterol, liver, kidney, iron and vitamin markers, at £178. That is 50% above the £119 median for similarly sized vitamins and minerals tests we track, and turnaround is notably longer than most Medichecks tests, at around 23 days rather than the usual few days.
