Test Sample Location

A comprehensive diagnostic panel designed to assess Long COVID across nine key health systems. This test evaluates blood counts, liver and kidney function, thyroid performance, iron levels, pancreatic health, glucose metabolism, and musculoskeletal markers. By screening multiple physiological systems simultaneously, it identifies which areas are affected and guides targeted treatment. Ideal for patients with persistent post-viral symptoms seeking evidence-based diagnosis and personalised care pathways.

What we measure

The biomarkers in this panel.

Liver and bone 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.

Liver health

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.

Liver health

Aspartate Aminotransferase

Another liver health marker.

Why it matters

Read alongside ALT, it gives extra insight into how your liver and muscles are coping.

Liver health

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.

Liver health

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.

Liver and nutrition

Albumin

The main protein in your blood, made by the liver.

Why it matters

Gives insight into liver function and overall nutrition.

Iron status

Ferritin

Your body's iron stores.

Why it matters

Low levels can leave you feeling tired; very high levels can be a sign of inflammation or iron overload.

Iron status

Iron

The iron currently circulating in your blood.

Why it matters

Important for energy and oxygen delivery.

Iron status

Total Iron Binding Capacity

How much iron your blood can carry.

Why it matters

Helps put your iron level in context.

Iron status

Transferrin

The protein that ferries iron around your body.

Why it matters

Adds detail to the iron-status picture.

Iron status

Transferrin Saturation

How much of your transferrin is actually carrying iron.

Why it matters

A useful marker for both low iron and iron overload.

Full blood count

Lymphocyte Count

Immune-system white blood cells.

Why it matters

Shows how your body is responding to infections or viruses.

Full blood count

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.

Full blood count

Neutrophil Count

Your front-line infection-fighting white blood cells.

Why it matters

Often higher when your body is fighting something off.

Full blood count

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.

Full blood count

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.

Thyroid health

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

The hormone that tells your thyroid how hard to work.

Why it matters

A first-line marker for thyroid balance.

Pancreatic health

Lipase

A pancreas enzyme that breaks down fats.

Why it matters

A more pancreas-specific check than amylase.

Heart health

Total Cholesterol

The total amount of cholesterol in your blood.

Why it matters

A long-standing marker for heart and circulation health.

Heart 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.

Heart health

HDL Cholesterol

The 'helpful' type of cholesterol.

Why it matters

Higher levels are generally linked to better heart health.

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.

Heart health

Triglycerides

Fats circulating in your blood.

Why it matters

Linked to diet, weight and heart health — often respond well to lifestyle tweaks.

Bone and immune

Vitamin D

A vitamin you make from sunlight and get from food.

Why it matters

Linked to bone strength, immune function and mood. Many people in the UK run low.

Muscle and joint

Creatine Kinase

A muscle marker.

Why it matters

Higher levels can show up after intense training or muscle strain.

Heart health

CK-MB

A heart-muscle-specific form of creatine kinase.

Why it matters

Gives a more targeted read on heart muscle than CK alone.

Muscle and joint

Myoglobin

A protein released when muscle is stressed.

Why it matters

Linked to muscle strain or heart-muscle activity.

Heart health

Troponin-T

A heart-specific muscle protein.

Why it matters

Higher levels can be a sign of heart-muscle strain.

Kidney health

Creatinine

A waste product cleared by your kidneys.

Why it matters

A core marker for how well your kidneys are filtering.

Kidney health

eGFR

An estimate of how well your kidneys are filtering.

Why it matters

A simple summary score for kidney function.

Kidney health

Cystatin C

A more sensitive kidney filtering marker.

Why it matters

Picks up smaller changes than creatinine alone.

Blood sugar

Glucose

Your blood sugar level at the moment of testing.

Why it matters

A snapshot of how your body is handling sugar right now.

Inflammation

C-Reactive Protein

A general inflammation marker.

Why it matters

Often raised when the body is fighting infection or inflammation.

Inflammation

D-Dimer

A clot break-down marker.

Why it matters

Levels can rise when there's been recent clotting activity.
