What does the blood (biomarker) panel test for?
Our biomarker panel is an important components of your assessment and gives your physician with an extensive internal picture of how your body is functioning across multiple systems.
What systems does the blood panel assess? The HealthScreen comprehensive blood panel typically includes markers across the following areas:
Metabolic health Blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile (including LDL, HDL, triglycerides), and markers of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.
Cardiovascular health Cholesterol (lipid pannels), C-reactive protein (CRP), and other inflammatory markers associated with cardiovascular risk. This is conducted alongside an ECG for a more complete cardiac picture.
Liver and kidney function Liver enzymes (ALT, AST), bilirubin, albumin, and kidney markers including creatinine, eGFR, and urea — to assess organ health and detect early signs of dysfunction.
Hormonal balance Thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4), hormones and other markers that influence energy, mood, metabolism, and long-term health.
Immune and inflammatory markers Full blood count (FBC), and other markers that can reveal immune activity, chronic inflammation, anaemia, and infection risk.
Nutritional status Vitamin D, B12, iron studies, zinc, and magnesium which may affect energy, cognition, and long-term wellbeing.
Why does this matter? Ageing affects every system of the body, and many risk factors for serious conditions — including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hormonal decline, and organ dysfunction — develop gradually and without obvious symptoms. Comprehensive biomarker testing allows our clinicians to identify silent risk factors early, tailor your clinical recommendations to your biology rather than your symptoms, and establish a baseline for monitoring your health over time.
The blood panel is included in HealthScreen Programs with being reviewed and explained by a physician in your follow-up consultation — not delivered as a raw data report without context.
