Private Blood Tests

Blood tests are useful in helping you understand your current health and wellbeing. Even if you are not experiencing symptoms or signs of an illness, it is still crucial that you get routine blood tests to help you make sense of your health status.

Blood testing can help with the diagnosis and identification of conditions and deficiencies that may deem you ineligible for blood donation. As a result, if a family member or friend is in need of blood donation, then you will know whether you are suitable for donating blood. Similarly, you may simply wish to donate blood as an act of goodwill and the same applies.

A Baseline Wellness Profile is designed to check 30+ parameters in your blood, all commonly used by doctors to identify any health concerns. This is a great idea if you're looking for a general blood test and will check:

• Blood production

• Kidney function

• Liver function

• Thyroid function

• Cardiac / Muscle enzymes

• Iron and bone markers

• Blood glucose

• Cholesterol levels, including HDL and LDL

Ask for your Baseline Wellness Profile when you book.

A blood test is a great way to assess your hormone and vitamin levels. This can assist in recognising hormone imbalances that may be causing hormone disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). 

Understanding your hormone and vitamin levels can help you and your doctor implement a plan for keeping these levels balanced, such as with the recommendation or prescription of supplements to correct any deficiencies. Other information that blood tests can reveal:

• Identify fertility issues through blood tests that analyse the female hormone profile (FIP).

• Diagnose medical conditions like diabetes and thyroid disease.

• A male hormone/infertility profile (MIPR) test evaluates fertility and offers insights into health conditions like hair loss and erectile dysfunction.

If you are experiencing sudden, unexplained symptoms, you may find yourself concerned and worried. With a private blood test at a Pall Mall clinic, including laboratory testing in our Leeds clinic, we can help provide clarity when it comes to knowing what your symptoms might mean.

If you are not feeling well and have been experiencing headaches, fatigue, and other unusual symptoms, your doctor will most likely recommend for you to have a preliminary blood test. The results of the test can show a great deal of information about your health and wellbeing and, should anything be flagged up, your doctor will discuss the best plan of action.

Even if you feel that your symptoms are not severe, if they have abruptly emerged and are disrupting your daily life (both mentally and physically), then it is a good idea to have blood work done as a step toward finding out the root of the problem.

If you're undergoing treatment for a medical condition, blood tests can reveal how effective it has been by measuring whether specific levels have increased or decreased in response to the treatment.

This can help determine if you need a different medication if your current treatment isn't improving your health.

If you would like further advice and information about your private blood test results or your health in general, please don’t hesitate to book a GP appointment with Pall Mall at any of our locations.
