BLOOD & URINE

The prostate specific antigen test, or PSA test, assesses the level of PSA in a man's blood. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland and is present in both cancerous and non-cancerous tissue. A high level of PSA may indicate cancer of the prostate, while a low level may suggest a benign condition. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from the arm and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days. The PSA test is an important tool in the early detection of cancer, as it can help to identify those at high risk for the disease. However, the test is not perfect, and false positives and false negatives can occur please read the government guidlines related to the test. For this reason, it is important to discuss the results of the test with a doctor to determine whether further testing or treatment is necessary.

Bowel Cancer Risk (FIT)

Faecal Immunochemical Test, or FIT, is a type of screening test used to help detect colorectal cancer. The test works by looking for blood in the stool, which can be an early sign of cancer. FIT is a simple and non-invasive test that can be done at home using a kit that we will provide. The kit includes everything you need to collect a small sample of your stool and send it off to a laboratory for analysis. The results of the test will be available within a few days. If the test is positive, it does not necessarily mean that you have cancer, but it does mean that you should see a doctor for further testing. FIT is a safe and effective way to help detect colorectal cancer in its early stages, when it is most treatable.

Stomach Cancer Risk (H. pylori)

Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, is a type of bacteria that infects the lining of the stomach. This infection can cause an inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis) and ulcers. H. pylori infection is also a major risk factor for stomach cancer. A Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) test is used to detect the presence of this bacteria in the stomach. The test can be performed using a blood sample. While Helicobacter Pylori infections are common, they can be treated with antibiotics. If you have an H. pylori infection, it's important to see your doctor so that it can be properly treated.

Lipid Profile (Cholesterol)

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. High levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease. We conduct a blood test using the latest technology to screen you for 5 different types of cholesterol. 50% of the UK population have undiagnosed high cholesterol.

HbA1c

HbA1c is a diabetes test looking at your average blood glucose (sugar) levels for the last two to three months. Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the UK effecting 5 million people. There are also over half a million people with undiagnosed diabetes meaning they have too much sugar in their blood.

Liver Function

Liver function tests are a group of tests that give information about the state of your liver. The liver can become damaged through unhealthy lifestyle choices including obesity and excessive alcohol consumption. This test will help us assess your liver’s current health. After this test we will help you take proactive measures to protect your liver and prevent any complications in the future.

Kidney Function

Your kidneys are responsible for filtering your blood and removing waste products through your urine. Blood and urine tests show how well the kidneys are doing their job and how quickly body wastes are being removed. This test is a measure of how well the kidneys are removing wastes and excess fluid from the blood. This is done through a blood test which will be sent to a laboratory for testing.

Bone Profile

A bone profile consists of 6 different tests including, albumin, uric acid, ALP and protein. These nutrients play a vital role in bone structure and density. If these are lower than normal, that could be a sign of bone disease such as osteoporosis or other bone related diseases.

Iron

Iron deficiency (anaemia) can result from inadequate intake of iron, a lack of absorption or blood loss e.g. menstruation or injury. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen around the body. Fatigue and tiredness are usually an indication of anaemia. This test looks at the iron levels in the blood. If this is too low, that could be a sign of iron deficiency.

Full Blood Count

A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anaemia, infections and leukemia. A complete blood count test measures several components and features of your blood, including: Red blood cells, which carry oxygen.

Urinalysis

A urinalysis is a test of your urine. A urinalysis is used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as a urinary tract infections. We will use a urinalysis to check the appearance, concentration and content of urine.

HEART

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that can be used to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity. An ECG can help detect: Coronary Heart Disease, Heart Attacks, Cardmyopathy, Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Supraventricular Tachycardia and Ventricular Fibrillation.

High blood pressure can block and prevent blood flow to the heart muscle potentially leading to a heart attack or stroke.

Heart rate is the number of times a person's heart beats per minute. Normal heart rate varies from person to person. We check this using an Electrocadigram to make sure it is not too high or too low, which could be a sign of an underlying heart condition.

After all tested are conducted, we will use the data to determine your heart age. We will then provide guidance on how to reduce it and decrease your risk of heart disease.

This test is a sophisticated algorithm that uses the 21 data sets that we test for to determine your riks of heart diease or stroke within 10 years.

BODY COMPOSITION

Our Body Scan will determine your current body fat percentage and give you an ideal amount of body fat needed for your age, gender, height and weight.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is an estimate of the amount of energy required for your body to function when at complete rest to perform essential activity such as breathing, circulation, body temperature regulation and cell growth. This will provide us with valuable information on your caloric needs to either reduce weight, gain or sustain your current weight.

Estimated Activity Rate (EAR) is an estimation of the number of calories you need each day. It is calculated by multiplying your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by an activity factor. This test will give us an indication of the number of calories needed when you are active.

This test will give us an indication if you are under weight, which can be a sign of malnutrition or other diseases. If you are under the ideal threshold, it could lead to osteoporosis and frailty.

Water plays a vital role in our everyday bodily functions. This test will determine how much water is in your body and whether you are dehydrated, hydrated or if you are retaining too much water.

Waist to Height Ratio Calculator is a measure of your body fat distribution. It should be less than 50% in healthy adults. A high fat distribution around the waist has been shown to correlate with diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome.

We will provide an ideal healthy weight based on your height, weight, gender, age and lean body weight.

We will calculate your current BMI, and advise if it is high based on your body fat percentage or if it is your natural build. Although a useful indicator, muscle is much denser than fat, so very muscular people such as heavyweight boxers, weight trainers and athletes, may be a healthy weight even though their BMI is classed as obese.

We believe in a healthy well-balanced diet based on your BMR and energy expenditure rather than fad diets or any severe caloric restrictions.
