Private Blood Tests
in Harley Street

A blood test can provide a comprehensive ovierview of your area of concern. This can reveal:
General Health: CBC (red/white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin) and metabolic panels (kidney, liver, electrolytes, glucose).

Nutritional Status: Levels of iron, vitamins (B12, D, folate), and minerals.
Infections/Immunity: Detects bacteria, viruses (e.g., HIV, hepatitis), and autoimmune markers.
Chronic Conditions: Monitors diabetes (glucose, HbA1c), cholesterol, thyroid function, and heart/liver health.

Hormones: Measures cortisol, sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen), insulin, and thyroid hormones.

Whether you can eat before a blood test depends on the type of test. Fasting is typically required for tests like glucose or cholesterol, while others, such as a full blood count, don’t require fasting. Follow your doctor’s instructions and stay hydrated with water to ensure accurate results.

A blood test may cause slight discomfort but generally doesn’t hurt much. You might feel a quick pinch or sting when the needle is inserted, and some people experience minor bruising or soreness afterward. The process is typically quick and manageable.

After the blood test is submitted to the lab, the processing time may vary. Upon completion, the results will be forwarded to the referring physician within 24-48 hours. Your doctor will then reach out to discuss the findings.

This varies depending on your health status and risk factors. Please discuss this with your doctor as they can provide advice on how often to get tested based on your personal health needs.
