This includes tests for liver and kidney function, bone health, blood iron levels and a full cholesterol profile. Ideal for giving you a better understanding of your general health, it can also identify health problems such as:

High cholesterol – a leading cause of heart disease, heart attack and stroke
Liver failure or cirrhosis
Kidney damage or disease, often caused by high blood pressure or diabetes
Gout, a very painful form of arthritis that causes build up of uric acid crystal in your joints
Anaemia, or low blood iron levels
Haemochromatosis, also called iron overload, caused by excessive blood iron
