Comprehensive Blood Test for Haematology & Biochemistry

The Comprehensive Haematology & Biochemistry Blood Test from Repose Healthcare combines a Full Blood Count, ESR and a broad range of biochemical tests in one convenient blood test. The profile assesses important markers relating to blood cells, inflammation, kidney function, liver function, bone and mineral health, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and iron status. By combining haematology and biochemistry testing, this comprehensive profile provides a broader assessment of key blood and biochemical markers from a single blood sample.

What Does the Blood Test Check?

This comprehensive profile includes both haematology and biochemistry testing.

Haematology – Full Blood Count (FBC)

A Full Blood Count measures different components of the blood and provides information about your:

• Red blood cells
• White blood cells
• Haemoglobin
• Haematocrit
• Platelets
• Other blood cell measurements included within the FBC

A Full Blood Count is commonly used as part of general blood testing and health assessments.

ESR – Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

The profile also includes an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) test. ESR is a laboratory measurement that can be affected by inflammation and other factors. It is not a specific diagnostic test and should be interpreted alongside other results and your individual clinical circumstances.

Kidney Function & Electrolytes

The biochemistry section measures:

• Sodium
• Potassium
• Chloride
• Bicarbonate
• Urea
• Creatinine
• eGFR

These markers are commonly assessed when looking at kidney function and electrolyte balance.

Liver Function

The profile includes:

• Bilirubin
• Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
• AST
• ALT
• Gamma GT (GGT)
• Total Protein
• Albumin
• Globulin

These measurements provide information about several aspects of liver function and protein metabolism.

Bone & Mineral Markers

The test includes:

• Calcium
• Phosphate
• Uric Acid
• Magnesium

These markers are relevant to mineral balance and bone metabolism.

Blood Glucose

The profile includes a glucose measurement, providing a measurement of blood glucose levels at the time the sample is taken.

Cholesterol & Triglycerides

The test includes:

• Total Cholesterol
• Triglycerides

These provide measurements of key blood lipid markers. If you are looking for a more comprehensive cholesterol assessment, a dedicated extended lipid profile may also include HDL cholesterol, calculated LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol.

Iron Status

The profile includes:

• Iron
• Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

These measurements provide information relating to iron levels and iron-binding capacity.

What’s Included?

Test Area	Markers Included
Haematology	Full Blood Count (FBC), ESR
Kidney Function & Electrolytes	Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Urea, Creatinine, eGFR
Liver Function	Bilirubin, ALP, AST, ALT, GGT, Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin
Bone & Minerals	Calcium, Phosphate, Uric Acid, Magnesium

The current laboratory specification identifies the profile as containing a Full Blood Count and ESR together with the listed biochemical parameters.
