Measures 19 markers of blood sugar, cholesterol, liver, kidney and inflammation to give a broad view of metabolic health.
19 biomarkers as listed by Thriva.
This test measures 19 biomarkers spanning several systems: HbA1c for long-term blood sugar control, a lipid profile (HDL, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides), a seven-marker liver panel, creatinine and eGFR for kidney function, high-sensitivity CRP for inflammation, ferritin, and total protein markers. Together these track how well your body processes and stores energy, which is affected by diet, weight, alcohol intake and underlying conditions like insulin resistance.
The provider does not publish a comparison group for this test. Against the wider set of metabolism tests we track, its 19 markers sit at the 50th percentile for depth, a mid-range panel rather than the deepest available. Its £96 price is markedly lower than the £124.38 median for similarly sized panels, about 23% below.
It scores well on value for money given that gap, and on collection convenience with an at-home finger-prick option and results in 2 days. Its clinical depth score is more middling, reflecting an average rather than exceptional marker count for the category.
This suits someone wanting a broad, moderately priced check on blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney health as part of general metabolic monitoring, rather than the deepest panel available. The provider does not list directly competing tests in our data, so compare the marker list above against any specific alternative you have in mind.
You can take this test at home with a finger-prick sample, or pay £60 extra for a nurse-taken venous draw. The sample is analysed at the lab and a doctor reviews your results, typically within 2 days.
This 19-marker panel covers blood sugar (HbA1c), a full cholesterol profile, liver health, kidney function (creatinine and eGFR) and inflammation (CRP), priced at £96. That is about 23% below the £124.38 median for similarly sized metabolism tests we track, though its marker count is roughly average for the category.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
19 biomarkers, placing it in the 50th percentile of metabolism tests we track.
A finger-prick sample you take at home; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 2 days, well ahead of the metabolism norm of 5.
Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.

Below-median price for a single-marker uric acid test
A single-marker blood test measuring uric acid, used to help monitor gout risk and related joint, kidney and metabolic health.
21-marker Dulaglutide monitoring panel
A 21-marker blood panel that checks kidney function, liver function, cholesterol, blood sugar (HbA1c) and pancreas health, aimed at people taking the GLP-1 medication Dulaglutide (Trulicity). Suits ongoing monitoring rather than a first general health check.
Organ and metabolic monitoring panel for Ozempic users
This 21-marker panel checks liver, kidney, lipid and blood sugar markers alongside lipase, designed for people taking Ozempic (semaglutide) who want to monitor how their body is responding to treatment.
Wide 21-marker panel for ongoing Wegovy monitoring
This is a 21-marker blood panel covering kidney, liver, lipid and blood sugar markers, intended for people taking Wegovy (semaglutide) for weight management who want to monitor these systems over time. It suits ongoing monitoring rather than one-off screening.
