What can I expect from General Health Profile?

This blood test provides you with a comprehensive check-up of your general health giving you vital information about a wide range of very important health conditions. Having a blood test today can add years of health and wellness to your life. The conditions tested for very often take many years for symptoms to develop and some do not show any symptoms at all, but if not tested for, in the meantime, untreated, damage is being done.

This test will tell you if you have diabetes (HbA1c) - there are over 1 million people with diabetes who do not know they have it. Finding out will enable you to make the lifestyle changes and start treatments that will significantly lengthen your life and improve how you feel every day. 

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have  high cholesterol level which is very significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to detect if you have high cholesterol is through the blood test. It will enable you to make the changes you need to reduce your risk of some of the most common causes of death.

Your Iron levels are checked. Iron is essential to maintain blood health.

This profile also checks your liver function. Your liver is probably the most complex and vital organs in your body. It does such a wide range of things including digesting all your food and removing toxins and poisons - like alcohol. Finding that your liver is being stressed can make a huge difference to its (and your) long term health and wellness.

Included is a kidney function test. Your kidney is also a vital organ. Checking that it is working properly is done primarily by blood tests which will give you the opportunity to get treatment early if any is needed.

It checks your bone health with calcium which is vital for bones along with many other essential bodily functions, and checks your muscle health with creatine kinase which can show if you have damaged muscles.

Lastly it checks for gout which can be altered dramatically with lifestyle and treatment and can cause a lot of misery if ignored.

This profile works very well as a finger-prick postal home test.

Results are usually ready in 3 working days of receipt of samples — we’ll let you know when you can view them in your dashboard.

 How do I see my results?

The results portal requires a different login to your account. To create your results portal account, please refer to the email sent to you when you placed your order.

How do I read my results?

Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.

Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP.

For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.

If you see ‘invalid result’ on any of your report pages, it’s nothing to worry about. Please call the London Laboratory Customer Service team on 020 7183 3718 and if required we will be able to arrange another blood test appointment free of charge or post you a home testing kit which you can post back to our laboratory
