A 14-marker general health check covering cholesterol, thyroid, iron, kidney function and vitamin D. It suits anyone wanting a broad first look at their health rather than a single symptom check.
14 biomarkers as listed by Thriva.
This test covers 14 markers spanning cholesterol and lipids, thyroid (TSH and FT4), iron status (ferritin), kidney function (creatinine and eGFR), inflammation (hs-CRP) and vitamin D. These are commonly used as a broad first look at cardiovascular, thyroid, kidney and nutrient health rather than investigating one specific symptom.
Against the 32 tests in this comparison group, its 14 markers sit below the group's median of 18, and its £109 price is close to, but slightly under, the £113 median. The closest match on marker count is Monitor My Health's Full Health Screen, which also covers 14 markers but costs £65. Blue Horizon Medicals' Wellman and Wellwoman tests cover more markers (20) for £82.25.
Its clinical depth score is held back by covering fewer markers than the group median, and its value for money score reflects sitting close to the median price without a matching marker count advantage. It still scores well for collection convenience and results and follow-up, thanks to the sampling options, two-day turnaround and doctor review.
This suits people who want Thriva's collection options and doctor-written report for a broad first health check. If marker count for your money matters most, Monitor My Health's Full Health Screen covers the same 14 markers for £65, and Blue Horizon Medicals' Wellman or Wellwoman tests cover 20 markers for £82.25, both cheaper than this £109 test.
The sample can be taken as an at-home finger-prick or, for an extra £60, a nurse-taken venous draw. The lab analyses all 14 markers and a doctor reviews the results, typically within two days.
Fourteen markers spanning cholesterol, thyroid, iron, kidney function and vitamin D make up this general health check, priced at £109, close to the group median of £113 but well above Monitor My Health's identically sized Full Health Screen at £65. Blue Horizon's Wellman and Wellwoman tests offer more markers (20) for less (£82.25). Results include a doctor's review within two days.
