Private Health Screens in London

Your Full Blood Count (FBC) provides an immediate snapshot of your body's essential health. It’s the first clue your GP uses to understand why you might be feeling unwell – whether it's a silent infection, anaemia, or simply general fatigue. With these results in hand during your screen, your doctor can swiftly guide you on immediate next steps, from prescribing antibiotics for infection or recommending iron supplements for deficiency, to reassuring you that watchful waiting is the best approach for today.

Ferritin measures your iron reserves, a critical indicator often checked alongside your FBC. If you're experiencing persistent fatigue, hair loss, or weakness, low ferritin could be the silent culprit, even before anaemia shows up on other tests. With this crucial number, your GP can immediately confirm an iron deficiency during your screen, and discuss a personalized plan for iron supplements to help you quickly regain energy and vitality.

Your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test is a key indicator of how well your thyroid gland – the body's 'master regulator' – is functioning. If you're experiencing symptoms like unexplained weight changes, fatigue, or mood shifts, an imbalanced thyroid could be the hidden reason. Seeing your TSH results during your health check allows your GP to immediately discuss any concerns, potentially recommend further specific tests, or swiftly start medication to restore balance, helping you feel like yourself again without delay.

Your kidneys are vital filters, quietly working to remove waste and excess fluid from your body. Our Kidney Function tests assess how effectively they're performing this crucial role. This insight is essential for understanding your overall health, especially if you have a family history of kidney issues, take regular medication, or manage conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. With these results, your GP can immediately assess your kidney health during your screen and advise on any necessary lifestyle adjustments, medication management, or further steps to protect these vital organs for the long term.

Your liver is a powerhouse organ, responsible for everything from detoxification to energy metabolism. Our comprehensive Liver Function tests check how well it’s performing these vital tasks. This is crucial for detecting early signs of stress or damage, especially if you take regular medications, consume alcohol, or have felt generally unwell. Receiving these results during your screen allows your GP to immediately assess your liver health, providing clear guidance on lifestyle adjustments, medication review, or swift referral for further investigation, helping you safeguard this essential organ.

The HbA1c test gives a vital long-term perspective, showing your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. This is the gold standard for early detection of pre-diabetes and diabetes, even if you don't have obvious symptoms or a high current blood sugar reading. Seeing your HbA1c during your health assessment empowers your GP to discuss targeted lifestyle changes or immediate treatment options to help manage your blood sugar and protect your health long-term.

These essential tests provide a comprehensive picture of your heart health risk by analyzing different types of fats in your blood. We measure your Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and the balance of 'good' (HDL) and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol. Your GP will interpret these results alongside your lifestyle and medical history, offering immediate guidance on diet, exercise, or medication to proactively reduce your cardiovascular risk.

Your protein levels (Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin) are fundamental indicators of your nutritional status, as well as providing insights into your liver and kidney function. During your general health check-up, your GP will interpret these markers to ensure your body has the building blocks it needs and to identify any other health signals, helping to complete your overall health picture and guide any necessary next steps for your wellbeing.

Uric Acid is a waste product that, at high levels, can cause painful conditions like gout or contribute to kidney stone risk. During your full body check, your GP will check your Uric Acid level and discuss its implications for your joint health and kidney function, advising on diet or other preventative measures to keep your levels in check.

Testosterone, a key male hormone, plays a vital role in energy, mood, muscle mass, and libido. If you're experiencing symptoms like fatigue, low mood, or decreased drive, checking your testosterone levels can provide important answers. Your GP will discuss your result in the context of your symptoms and overall health during your screen, advising on lifestyle, or recommending further investigation or treatment if needed.
