Description
A broad screening panel across the systems most commonly checked in a routine health review — useful as a baseline, or as a starting point when something feels off but is hard to place.
What this test measures
- Liver: ALT, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, albumin
- Kidney: creatinine, urea, eGFR, sodium, potassium
- Cholesterol: total, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, ratio
- Blood sugar: HbA1c
- Thyroid: TSH, free T4
- Key nutrients: ferritin, vitamin D, vitamin B12
Who it is for
- A general baseline, particularly from your forties onward
- Persistent tiredness or feeling generally unwell without an obvious cause
- A family history across several conditions
- Checking in after a significant change in diet, weight or alcohol intake
Preparing for your test
Fast for 10 to 12 hours, water only, because of the cholesterol component. Sample in the morning if you can. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and heavy exercise the day before. Hold biotin supplements for two days — they interfere with the thyroid assay.
Worth knowing
Broad panels frequently turn up a mildly out-of-range value that means nothing at all. That is normal, and it is exactly why every result here is interpreted by a GP rather than handed to you as a spreadsheet. The question is never simply whether a number sits outside the reference range — it is whether it matters for you.
What happens next
Once the laboratory reports, a GP registered with the Irish Medical Council reviews your result alongside the information you gave us and explains what it means in plain English. GP review is included in the price — we do not release raw numbers without interpretation.
Important limitations
This is a screening test, not a diagnosis. A result in range does not rule out every cause of a symptom, and a result out of range does not by itself confirm a condition. If you feel unwell, see a doctor in person regardless of what this test shows. This service is not for emergencies — call 112 or 999 if you are seriously unwell.
