Haemoglobin
The oxygen-carrying part of your red blood cells.
Why it matters

A streamlined screening tool that simultaneously assesses lipid metabolism and glycaemic status to evaluate diabetes and cardiovascular risk profiles. This integrated panel measures key biomarkers—total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and HbA1c—providing clinicians with actionable data for early intervention and risk stratification. Essential for preventative health assessments and chronic disease management in primary care settings.

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.
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.
HbA1c
Your average blood sugar over the last few months.
Why it matters
Useful for understanding how your body handles sugar over time.
Is this panel right for me?
Who this panel is built for.
Who this is for
- Adults wanting a focused view of cardiovascular and glucose-control markers.
- People making lifestyle or dietary changes and tracking the response.
- Anyone over 40 wanting an efficient annual cardiometabolic check.
- Those who have been told to keep an eye on cholesterol or HbA1c.
Consider speaking to a clinician first
- Anyone with cardiac or diabetic symptoms that need clinical review. Speak to your GP first.
- People being titrated on statins, ezetimibe, metformin or related medication.
- Those needing fasting glucose with insulin (a separate panel).
- Children under 18.
This panel reports biomarker data. It does not diagnose any condition. Your results should be reviewed alongside the advice of your GP or another qualified healthcare professional.

FAQs
Common questions.
How long do Lipids and HbA1c results take?
Results are typically delivered within 2 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample. You receive a plain English PDF report covering total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and HbA1c.
How is the sample collected for Lipids and HbA1c?
This panel requires a venous blood draw at a Chxhealth or partner clinic. The phlebotomy fee is included in the price. Choose our Lanchester clinic or one of our 50+ UK partner and pop-up clinics when you book.
Should I fast before this panel?
Yes. Triglycerides and the full lipid profile are most accurate after a 10 to 12 hour fast, water only. HbA1c does not need fasting but the rest of the panel does.
Who should consider Lipids and HbA1c together?
The combination is ideal for tracking overall cardiometabolic risk in one panel. It suits adults with a family history of heart disease or diabetes, anyone making dietary or weight changes, and people who want to monitor both cholesterol and longer-term blood sugar control in one visit.
How often should I retest?
If you are tracking lifestyle changes or medication response, every 3 to 6 months. For general monitoring, annually is reasonable.
