This blood test covers 38 markers across cholesterol, blood sugar, iron, kidney and liver function, key proteins, and full blood count, giving a broad snapshot of general health. It suits people who want a wide baseline health check rather than looking at one specific concern.
38 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test covers 38 markers spanning cholesterol status, clotting indicators, blood sugar control (HbA1c), gout risk, inflammation, iron status, kidney and liver function, blood proteins, red blood cells and white blood cells. That breadth is designed to give a general snapshot of how several body systems are functioning, rather than investigating one specific symptom or condition.
Medichecks places this test in a comparison group of 21 similarly sized general health checks, where the median is 40 markers, so its 38 markers sit just under the middle of the pack for depth. On price, though, it stands out: at £89 it is the cheapest of the 8 named peers in this group, undercutting the £90 Bluecrest Wellness Advanced Biochemistry Profile (26 markers), the £95 MyHealthChecked General Health Blood Test (29 markers), and pricier options such as the £159 Medichecks Advanced Well Woman Blood Test, which does cover more markers (47) for its higher price.
This combination drives a very strong value-for-money score, since the comparison-group median price is £159 against this test's £89. Clinical depth scores respectably rather than exceptionally, reflecting the marker count sitting just below the group median. It also scores well for results and follow-up, because a doctor reviews every result, and for clarity and documentation, since the listing sets out the full biomarker list, turnaround and collection options. Collection convenience is held back somewhat because it still requires a venous draw at a clinic, though a home nurse visit is offered.
This suits you if you want a broad, general check of your health, covering organ function, blood sugar, cholesterol and blood counts, without paying for a larger panel you may not need. Against its named comparison group it is the cheapest option, so it is a sensible starting point if budget matters more than maximum marker count. If you specifically want more markers and are willing to pay more, the £135 Medichecks Advanced Essential Blood Test (43 markers) or the £159 Medichecks Advanced Well Woman Blood Test (47 markers) go deeper for a higher price.
You can have this done at an in-store clinic, through a home nurse visit, or with a venous blood draw at a clinic; Medichecks does not offer an at-home finger-prick option for this test. Results are typically ready within 3 days, and every result is reviewed by a doctor before you receive it.
Covering 38 markers across cholesterol, blood sugar, iron, kidney and liver function, blood proteins and a full blood count, this panel gives a wide general-health snapshot. At £89 it is the cheapest of the 8 comparable 26-to-50-marker checks we track, undercutting the £90 Bluecrest Wellness and £95 MyHealthChecked equivalents. Its 38 markers sit just below this group's 40-marker median, so a few peers test more deeply for a higher price.
