- Nutritional Health
< Back Nutritional Health £239 What is the test for? This blood test includes key markers of current nutritional status alongside other indicators that may be causative or symptomatic of poor nutritional outcomes. What's included in the test? Full Blood Count: Haemoglobin is the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. Haematocrit measures the percentage of red blood cells in your blood, indicating the proportion of your blood volume occupied by red blood cells. Mean Cell Haemoglobin is the average amount of hemoglobin in each of your red blood cells. Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) is the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells. Mean Corpuscular Volume measures the average size of your red blood cells. Red Blood Cell Count measures the number of red blood cells in a microliter of blood, which helps determine the blood's capacity to carry oxygen. Basophil Count measures the number of basophils, a type of white blood cell that plays a role in allergic reactions and inflammation, in a blood sample. Eosinophil Count measures the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in your blood, which can indicate conditions like allergic reactions, parasitic infections, or other medical issues. Lymphocyte Count measures the number of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial for immune function, in a blood sample, indicating the body's ability to fight infections and other diseases. Monocyte Count measures the number of monocytes, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system by engulfing and destroying pathogens and cellular debris. Neutrophil Count measures the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in fighting infections, in a blood sample. White Blood Cell Count measures the total number of white blood cells in a blood sample, which helps assess the body's ability to fight infections and other diseases. Platelet Count measures the number of platelets in your blood, which are essential for blood clotting. Liver Health: Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and bone. Abnormal levels of this enzyme can be a sign of liver or bone disease. Alanine Transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the heart, kidneys and muscles. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the liver, heart, kidneys and muscles and an abnormal level can be a sign of a problem with one of these organs. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the heart and muscles. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the liver, heart and muscles and an abnormal level can be a sign of a problem with one of these organs. Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the gallbladder, spleen, pancreas and kidney. It is important for the metabolism of drugs, alcohol and other toxins. GGT tests can be used to detect problems with metabolism such as excessive alcohol intake and problems with the organs where it is found. Total Bilirubin can be found in bile and red blood cells. Total bilirubin tests can be used to diagnose and monitor liver diseases and some types of anaemia. Albumin is a protein produced in the liver. It has many functions such as transporting hormones, vitamins and medications throughout the body. Albumin tests can be used to help diagnose and monitor diseases of the liver and kidney. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, primarily in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, and its levels in the blood reflect the body's iron stores. Heart Health: Total Cholesterol is a measurement of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. This includes low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol is used to produce hormones for development, growth and reproduction. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol which is considered ‘good’ cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the heart’s arteries. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered ‘bad’ cholesterol because it contributes to cholesterol build-up and blockage in the arteries. Total Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol Ratio is a calculation derived from a cholesterol blood test, used to assess cardiovascular risk, by dividing the total cholesterol number by the HDL ("good") cholesterol number; a higher ratio generally indicates a greater risk of heart disease. Triglyceride is another type of fat (not the same as cholesterol) found in the bloodstream. Nutritional Health: Albumin is a protein made by your liver that circulates in your bloodstream, playing a critical role in maintaining fluid balance and transporting various substances throughout the body. Calcium (Adjusted) accounts for changes in blood albumin levels, providing a more accurate measure of your true calcium levels, as calcium binds to albumin. Folate , also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in cell growth and the formation of red blood cells. Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that plays a crucial role in red blood cell formation, nerve function, and DNA synthesis. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune system function, and its levels are measured in the blood to assess sufficiency or deficiency. Zinc is an essential trace element that plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions, including immune response, wound healing, and DNA synthesis, and a zinc blood test measures its levels to assess for deficiencies or excesses. Magnesium is an essential mineral, in your blood, which is important for various bodily functions including muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and blood pressure regulation. Iron Status: Iron is a mineral which is needed for making red blood cells, which transports oxygen in the blood, and which is important for healthy muscles, bone marrow and healthy organ function. Low levels of iron can indicate anaemia whereas high levels can indicate liver disease. Ferritin is a blood protein that is used to store iron. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Ferritin is measured to understand how much iron the body is storing. Ferritin tests are used to help diagnose anaemia and liver disease. Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Total Iron Binding Capacity tests are used to determine iron status and its absorption from the gut. They can be helpful for diagnosing anaemia and iron overload conditions such as Haemochromatosis. Your TIBC may be impaired if you also have existing liver disease. Transferrin is an iron-binding protein that is produced by the liver. It is used to transport iron which transports oxygen in the blood. Transferrin tests are used to determine iron status and can be used to diagnose anaemia. Transferrin saturation is a blood test that measures how much iron is bound to transferrin, a protein responsible for carrying iron in the bloodstream. Digestive Health: Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies are measured in a blood test to help diagnose celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to gluten. Thyroid Health: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is made by the pituitary gland in the brain to stimulate the thyroid gland (located by the throat). The hormones that are produced by the thyroid regulate weight, body temperature and muscle strength. Levels of TSH are an indicator of thyroid disease and are commonly tested with Free T4. Free T4 (free thyroxine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. This hormone is involved in several body functions including metabolism and growth. It can be used for the diagnosis of thyroid diseases such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism as well as aiding the diagnosis of female infertility problems. Free T4 is commonly tested with TSH. Free T3 (free triiodothyronine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid glands. This hormone is involved in several body functions including metabolism. It can be used to aid the diagnosis of thyroid diseases such as hyperthyroidism. Free T3 is commonly tested with Free T4 and TSH. Antithyroglobulin Antibodies (Anti-Tg) are produced by the immune system as a defence mechanism to protect the thyroid against foreign invaders. Autoimmune conditions will increase the amount of anti-Tg in the body, attacking healthy thyroid cells. Anti-Tg tests are used to diagnose thyroid disorders and are an indicator for autoimmune conditions. Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (Anti-TPO) are produced by the immune system as a defence mechanism to protect the thyroid against foreign invaders. Autoimmune conditions will increase the amount of anti-TPO in the body, attacking healthy thyroid cells. Anti-TPO tests are used to diagnose thyroid disorders and are an indicator for autoimmune conditions. Diabetes Health: HbA1C Glucose (a kind of sugar) builds up in the blood and binds to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells. A haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test is used to measure the average level of blood glucose over the past two to three months and is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. Glucose A blood glucose test screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood. A high range could indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. A glucose test is also used to monitor glucose control for those people who are already known to have diabete Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter cells throughout the body for energy. Pancreatic Health: Pancreatic Amylase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that helps digest carbohydrates, and a blood test measuring its levels is used to detect pancreatic disorders like pancreatitis.

- Coeliac-Gluten Sensitivity Profile
Coeliac-Gluten Sensitivity Profile £219 < Back Coeliac-Gluten Sensitivity Profile A simple blood test to test for coeliac disease. People with coeliac disease who eat gluten have higher than normal levels of certain antibodies in their blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system because it views gluten (the proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley) as a threat. You must be on a gluten-containing diet for antibody (blood) testing to be accurate. tTG-IgA Test For most children and adults, the best way to test for celiac disease is with the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody (tTG-IgA), plus an IgA antibody in order to ensure that the patient generates enough of this antibody to render the coeliac disease test accurate. All coeliac disease blood tests require that you be on a gluten-containing diet to be accurate. The tTG-IgA test will be positive in about 93% of patients with coeliac disease who are on a gluten-containing diet. This refers to the test’s sensitivity , which measures how correctly it identifies those with the disease. The same test will come back negative in about 96% of healthy people without celiac disease. There is also a slight risk of a false positive test result, especially for people with associated autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes, autoimmune liver disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis, and heart failure, who do not have celiac disease. IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA): The EMA test has a specificity of almost 100%, making it the most specific test for coeliac disease, although it is not as sensitive as the tTG-IgA test. About 5-10% of people with coeliac disease do not have a positive EMA test. It is usually reserved for difficult to diagnose patients. Total serum IgA: This test is used to check for IgA deficiency, a condition associated with coeliac disease that can cause a false negative tTG-IgA or EMA result. While it is very rare, it is possible for someone with coeliac disease to have negative antibody test results. If your tests were negative, but you continue to experience symptoms, consult your doctor and undergo further medical evaluation. Biomarkers: Endomysial Antibodies IgA Reticulin IgA Gliadin IgA + IgG Total IgA Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Estimated turnaround time: 2-5 Working Days Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above. During booking, only a £30 deposit is required , which will be deducted from the total cost. The remaining payment will be collected at a later stage. Any cancellation, rescheduling, or missed appointment within 48 hours of the scheduled time will result in the loss of the £30 deposit.

- Influenza
£25 per dose < Back Influenza £25 per dose Influenza Flu symptoms come on very quickly and can include: a sudden high temperature an aching body feeling tired or exhausted a dry cough a sore throat a headache difficulty sleeping loss of appetite diarrhoea or tummy pain feeling sick and being sick The symptoms are similar for children, but they can also get pain in their ear and appear less active. What Vaccines are available? Flu vaccines are safe and effective. They're offered every year on the NHS to help protect people at risk of flu and its complications. Flu vaccination is important because, while flu is unpleasant for most people, it can be dangerous and even life threatening for some people, particularly those with certain health conditions. The best time to have your flu vaccine is in the autumn or early winter before flu starts spreading. But you can get your vaccine later. Vaccine Schedules Once a year during flu season. Prevention Flu is very infectious and easily spread to other people. You're more likely to give it to others in the first 5 days. Flu is spread by germs from coughs and sneezes, which can live on hands and surfaces for 24 hours. To reduce the risk of spreading flu: wash your hands often with warm water and soap, and cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze (if you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the bend of your elbow, not into your hand) bin used tissues as quickly as possible. Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you have a high temperature or you do not feel well enough to do your normal activities. Need to book more than one vaccine? Please make a booking for a single vaccine and leave a note with the booking for the other vaccines you require. We will reserve the vaccines and call you if there are any issues. Note: We offer a 5% discount for cash payments. Please make sure you fill in the form in the appointment confirmation which you will recieve (as a link).

- Immunoglobulins (IgG IgM IgA)
Immunoglobulins (IgG IgM IgA) £129 < Back Immunoglobulins (IgG IgM IgA) This test measures the amount of immunoglobulins in your blood. Immunoglobulins are also called antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight germs , such as viruses and bacteria . When you're exposed to germs, your body makes unique antibodies that are specifically designed to destroy only those germs. An immunoglobulins blood test measures the amounts of IgM, IgG, and IgA in your blood to help diagnose different types of health conditions that may affect your immune system. Biomarkers: IgM antibodies are the first immunoglobulins your body makes after you're exposed to germs. They provide short-term protection while your body makes other antibodies. IgM antibodies are in your blood and lymph fluid (a watery fluid that carries the cells that fight infections and diseases to all parts of your body). IgG antibodies are very important for fighting infections from bacteria and viruses. Most of the immunoglobulins in your blood are IgG. You also have some IgG antibodies in all your body fluids. Your body keeps a "blueprint" of all the IgG antibodies you have made. That way, if you're exposed to the same germs again, your immune system can quickly make more antibodies. IgA antibodies protect your respiratory tract (the organs you use to breathe) and your digestive system (the organs you use to eat and digest food) from infections. You have IgA antibodies in your blood, saliva, and gastric "juices." Estimated turnaround time: 2-5 Working Days Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above. During booking, only a £30 deposit is required , which will be deducted from the total cost. The remaining payment will be collected at a later stage.
