What we measure
The biomarkers in this panel.
Haematocrit
The proportion of your blood made up of red cells.
Why it matters
Gives a quick snapshot of how oxygen-rich your blood is.
Mean Cell Haemoglobin
The average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell.
Why it matters
Helps show whether your red cells are well-stocked with oxygen-carrying protein.
Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration
How concentrated the haemoglobin is in your red blood cells.
Why it matters
Another angle on red blood cell quality, useful when looking at iron status.
Mean Cell Volume
The average size of your red blood cells.
Why it matters
Cell size can hint at iron, B12 or folate levels.
Red Blood Cell Count
The number of red cells in your blood.
Why it matters
Red cells carry oxygen — too few or too many can both be a sign something's off.
Basophil Count
A type of white blood cell.
Why it matters
Linked to allergic responses and how your body deals with irritants.
Lymphocyte Count
Immune-system white blood cells.
Why it matters
Shows how your body is responding to infections or viruses.
Eosinophil Count
A white blood cell linked to allergies and parasites.
Why it matters
Higher levels can be a sign of allergies or other immune activity.
Monocyte Count
A clean-up white blood cell.
Why it matters
Gives insight into longer-running immune activity.
Neutrophil Count
Your front-line infection-fighting white blood cells.
Why it matters
Often higher when your body is fighting something off.
White Blood Cell Count
The total count of immune cells in your blood.
Why it matters
A general marker of how active your immune system is.
Platelet Count
Tiny cells that help your blood clot.
Why it matters
Low or high counts can be a sign your clotting balance is off.
Creatinine
A waste product cleared by your kidneys.
Why it matters
A core marker for how well your kidneys are filtering.
eGFR
An estimate of how well your kidneys are filtering.
Why it matters
A simple summary score for kidney function.
Chloride
An electrolyte that keeps your body's fluids balanced.
Why it matters
Useful alongside sodium and potassium for hydration and kidney insight.
Potassium
An electrolyte your heart and muscles rely on.
Why it matters
Both low and high levels can affect how you feel.
Phosphate
A mineral that works with calcium for bones and energy.
Why it matters
Levels can shift with diet, kidney function or bone activity.
Sodium
Your main fluid-balance electrolyte.
Why it matters
Linked to hydration, blood pressure and kidney health.
Urea
A waste product from breaking down protein.
Why it matters
Another check on kidney filtering and hydration.
Total Cholesterol
The total amount of cholesterol in your blood.
Why it matters
A long-standing marker for heart and circulation health.
LDL Cholesterol
The 'less helpful' type of cholesterol.
Why it matters
Higher levels are linked to a greater chance of furred-up arteries over time.
HDL Cholesterol
The 'helpful' type of cholesterol.
Why it matters
Higher levels are generally linked to better heart health.
Total Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol Ratio
Total cholesterol compared with HDL.
Why it matters
A simple ratio that gives a clearer picture than total cholesterol alone.
Triglycerides
Fats circulating in your blood.
Why it matters
Linked to diet, weight and heart health — often respond well to lifestyle tweaks.
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
A sensitive marker of low-level inflammation.
Why it matters
Low-grade inflammation is linked to heart and metabolic health.
Alkaline Phosphatase
A marker linked to both liver and bone health.
Why it matters
Levels can shift when the liver is under strain or when bones are remodelling more than usual.
Alanine Aminotransferase
A liver health marker.
Why it matters
Higher levels can be a sign your liver is under stress, often linked to diet, alcohol, or fatty liver.
Aspartate Aminotransferase
Another liver health marker.
Why it matters
Read alongside ALT, it gives extra insight into how your liver and muscles are coping.
Gamma-Glutamyltransferase
A liver marker (often called GGT).
Why it matters
Often raised by alcohol or fatty liver — a useful check-in on lifestyle impact.
Total Bilirubin
A waste product the liver clears from your blood.
Why it matters
Higher levels can be a sign your liver isn't clearing things as efficiently as usual.
Albumin
The main protein in your blood, made by the liver.
Why it matters
Gives insight into liver function and overall nutrition.
Glucose
Your blood sugar level at the moment of testing.
Why it matters
A snapshot of how your body is handling sugar right now.
