About this test

This panel measures three classes of antibody, IgG, IgM and IgA, together with total protein, albumin and globulin. These markers are commonly used to build a picture of how the immune system is functioning, including whether frequent infections, unexplained inflammation or symptoms of possible immune deficiency warrant further investigation with a GP.

With six biomarkers, this sits in the 93rd percentile for clinical depth among the 17 similarly sized immunity tests we track, and at £99 it is priced 34% below their £149 median. Collection is flexible, with home finger-prick, clinic, home nurse and venous draw options all available, though results take longer to come back than several other Medichecks tests in this data, at 5 days.

The high overall score reflects strong clinical depth and value for money together, an unusual combination in this category. Trust signals score well too, based on Medichecks' Trustpilot rating and its doctor review included with every test. Results and follow-up scores a little lower here, since the wait for results is longer at 5 days.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone experiencing frequent infections, unexplained inflammation, or symptoms that suggest an immune deficiency or autoimmune condition, who wants a broad immunity panel rather than a single marker.

We do not track a directly comparable test from another provider for this exact six-marker combination, so we cannot point to a specific cheaper or deeper alternative; based on the wider category data, this test is both broader and less expensive than the £149 median for similarly sized immunity tests.

How it works

You can collect your sample at home with a finger-prick kit, at an in-store clinic, via a home nurse visit, or with a venous draw at a clinic. The lab measures IgG, IgM, IgA, total protein, albumin and globulin from the sample, and a doctor reviews the results as standard. Turnaround is 5 days.

Pros & cons

  • Six biomarkers, in the 93rd percentile for depth among similarly sized immunity tests we track.
  • Priced £99, 34% below the £149 median for that group.

  • Doctor review included as standard.

Cons

  • 5-day turnaround, longer than several other Medichecks blood tests.
  • No named like-for-like competitor in our data, so the price cannot be benchmarked directly.
  • The listing does not describe what the results report itself looks like.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Six-marker immunity panel below the category median
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Six biomarkers for £99 puts this immunity panel in the top tier for depth among the 17 similarly sized tests we track, and 34% below their £149 median on price. The trade-off is a longer wait: results take 5 days rather than the 2 to 3 days typical of several other Medichecks tests in this fact sheet.
