Full Blood Test UK
Full Blood Test — Up to 70 Biomarkers in One Comprehensive Test
Get the complete picture of your health with a full blood test covering cholesterol, liver, kidney, thyroid, hormones, vitamins, diabetes, and inflammation. Doctor-reviewed results in 2-3 working days.
What Is a Full Blood Test?
A full blood test goes far beyond the basic blood count your GP might order. While an NHS “full blood count” (FBC) only measures red and white blood cells and platelets, a genuinely comprehensive blood test examines dozens of biomarkers across every major system in your body.
At Lola Health, our full blood tests cover between 45 and 70 biomarkers depending on the panel you choose. This gives you a thorough, 360-degree view of your health — from cardiovascular risk and metabolic function to hormone balance, nutritional status, and inflammatory markers.
Think of it as your body's MOT. Just as you would not drive a car for years without a service, your body deserves regular comprehensive checks that go deeper than a basic screen.
What Does a Full Blood Test Cover?
Cholesterol & Heart Health
Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol, total:HDL ratio — assessing your cardiovascular risk profile.
Liver Function
ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, albumin, total protein — detecting liver stress from alcohol, medication, or fatty liver disease.
Kidney Function
Creatinine, eGFR, urea, uric acid — checking how well your kidneys are filtering waste products.
Thyroid Function
TSH, free T3, free T4, thyroid antibodies — a complete thyroid panel that goes beyond the basic TSH-only test.
Vitamins & Minerals
Vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, ferritin, iron, TIBC — identifying deficiencies that affect energy, mood, and immunity.
Hormones
Testosterone, oestradiol, cortisol, DHEA-S, SHBG — understanding your hormonal balance and stress response.
Diabetes & Metabolism
HbA1c, fasting glucose — screening for diabetes risk and metabolic health.
Inflammation & Blood Count
CRP, ESR, full blood count (FBC) — detecting inflammation, infection, and blood disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a full blood test the same as a full blood count (FBC)?
No. A full blood count (FBC) is a specific test that measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets — typically around 15-20 markers. A full blood test from Lola Health is far more comprehensive, covering up to 70 biomarkers across cholesterol, liver, kidney, thyroid, hormones, vitamins, and more.
How many biomarkers should I test?
For a thorough health check, we recommend at least 45 biomarkers (our Core Health Check). If you want the most complete picture, including hormones and advanced markers, our 70-biomarker Peak Insights test is the best option.
Can I do a full blood test at home?
Yes. All our full blood tests use a simple finger-prick collection method that you complete at home. The sample is posted to our lab in a prepaid envelope. No clinic visit needed.
How often should I get a full blood test?
We recommend a comprehensive blood test at least once a year as part of your annual health check. If you are monitoring a specific condition or making significant lifestyle changes, every 3-6 months may be more appropriate.
Will my results tell me if something is wrong?
Your results are reviewed by a doctor who will clearly flag any values outside the normal range with an explanation of what it means. For any urgent findings, our medical team will contact you directly. We always recommend discussing abnormal results with your GP.
Do I need to fast before a full blood test?
For the most accurate results, we recommend fasting for 8-12 hours before collection (water is fine). This ensures accurate cholesterol, blood sugar, and metabolic markers. Morning collection before breakfast works best.
