Specific Blood Tests

Probably the most common blood test on the planet. A Full Blood Count (FBC for short) is used to look for abnormalities in your blood. This test measures the number and status of different blood cells including red cells, white cells and platelets. A Full Blood Count can be used to check for anaemia, infection and a host of diseases which affect blood cells. The FBC tests for 13 key markers: Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Mean Cell Haemoglobin, Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Red Blood Cell Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Red Blood Cell Count, Basophil Count Lymphocyte Count, Eosinophil Count, Monocyte Count, Neutrophil Count, White Blood Cell Count, Platelet Count. *THIS TEST DOES NOT INCLUDE CHOLESTEROL, LIVER OR KIDNEY MARKERS* If you are interested in having those tested, check out our Standard Blood Test which includes a Full Blood Count, Cholesterol Profile, Liver Profile and Kidney markers. Turnaround Time: Most results are back in 1-2 working days. PLEASE NOTE: You are NOT required to fast before your Full Blood Count Blood Test.

A Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Test) is a hugely important blood test used to monitor and screen for cardiovascular disease risk. The profile measures the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. Too much bad cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to deposits (plaques) in arteries. These can block and narrow blood vessels, potentially leading to heart attacks, strokes or clots. High cholesterol and triglyceride levels are a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death globally. Our Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Test) tests for: - Total Cholesterol - LDL Cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) - HDL Cholesterol (the good cholesterol) - A Total Cholesterol to LDL Cholesterol Ratio - Triglycerides It is impossible to know your cholesterol levels and evaluate your true cardiovascular disease risk without a Cholesterol test. Regular cholesterol tests are recommended for those taking cholesterol medication, and those at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease: - a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease - overweight or obese - physically inactive - have diabetes - eat unhealthily - smoke cigarettes Turnaround Time: Most results are back in 1-2 working days. PLEASE NOTE: You are required to fast for at least 10 hours before your cholesterol test. You may still consume water. In fact, it's better for blood draws if you are well hydrated!

A Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Test) is a hugely important blood test used to monitor and screen for cardiovascular disease risk. The profile measures the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood along with HbA1c. This test also includes a Full Blood Count (FBC) looking at Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells and Platelets. Our HbA1c blood test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, providing essential insights into your long-term glucose control. This test is vital for diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes, monitoring diabetes management and assessing the effectiveness of treatments or lifestyle changes. Too much bad cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to deposits (plaques) in arteries. These can block and narrow blood vessels, potentially leading to heart attacks, strokes or clots. High cholesterol and triglyceride levels are a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death globally. Our Lipid Profile (Cholesterol) & HbA1c Test tests for: - Total Cholesterol - LDL Cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) - HDL Cholesterol (the good cholesterol) - A Total Cholesterol to LDL Cholesterol Ratio - Triglycerides - HbA1c It is impossible to know your cholesterol levels and evaluate your true cardiovascular disease risk without a Cholesterol test. The added component of HbA1c will also give an indication of blood glucose control over the last 3 months, far superior to a glucose blood test. Regular cholesterol and HbA1c tests are recommended for those taking cholesterol medication, and those at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease: - a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease - overweight or obese - physically inactive - have diabetes or a family history - eat unhealthily - smoke cigarettes - are over 45 years old Turnaround Time: Most results are back in 1-2 working days.

Our Blood Group Test determines your blood type quickly and accurately. This essential test identifies your ABO and RhD blood group, crucial for medical procedures, transfusions and understanding your unique health profile. There are 4 main blood groups defined by the ABO system: Blood Group A – has A antigens on the red blood cells with anti-B antibodies in the plasma Blood Group B – has B antigens with anti-A antibodies in the plasma Blood Group O – has no antigens, but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma Blood Group AB – has both A and B antigens, but no antibodies Blood Group O is the most common blood group. Almost half of the Irish population (around 47%) has Blood Group O. Receiving blood from the wrong ABO group can be life-threatening. For example, if someone with Group B blood is given group A blood, their anti-A antibodies will attack the Group A cells. The Rhesus (Rh) System Red blood cells sometimes have another antigen, a protein known as the RhD antigen. If this is present, your blood group is RhD positive. If it's absent, your blood group is RhD negative. This means you can be 1 of 8 blood groups: A RhD positive (A+) A RhD negative (A-) B RhD positive (B+) B RhD negative (B-) O RhD positive (O+) O RhD negative (O-) AB RhD positive (AB+) AB RhD negative (AB-) About 84% of the Irish population is RhD positive (35% of the population has O+, the most common type).

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that can be detected in the blood shortly after implantation, typically around 8–10 days after conception. This is a quantitative beta hCG blood test, which measures the exact level of hCG in the bloodstream. Unlike urine pregnancy tests, it provides a numerical result that can be useful for clinical monitoring and accurate age estimation. Serial beta hCG measurements can help assess whether an early pregnancy is progressing as expected, as hCG levels usually rise in a predictable pattern during the first weeks of pregnancy. The test may also assist healthcare professionals when investigating concerns such as ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy or early pregnancy loss. In later pregnancy, hCG forms part of combined screening tests for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome, although it is not used alone for this purpose. *Limitations of the Test* Beta hCG levels can vary between individuals and a single result may not provide a complete picture on its own. Results are often most useful when compared with repeat testing and clinical assessment. This test cannot confirm pregnancy location or health by itself. If you experience symptoms such as pain bleeding or dizziness you should seek medical advice promptly regardless of your result. Outside of pregnancy, elevated hCG levels can occasionally be seen in certain medical conditions and testing may be used as part of further investigation when clinically indicated. Turnaround Time: Most results available in 1-2 working days. PLEASE NOTE: You are not required to fast before your test and we recommend that you come well hydrated.

The AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) Blood Test is a key indicator of ovarian reserve and fertility potential. AMH is produced by cells in your ovarian follicles and provides a reliable snapshot of how many eggs you may have remaining. This test is commonly used by women who are planning for the future, considering IVF or simply want to understand more about their reproductive health. It’s also used to help diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or to monitor ovarian function over time. Who is this test for? - Women thinking about future fertility or family planning. - Those starting or considering IVF or egg freezing. - Women with symptoms of PCOS or irregular cycles. - Anyone who wants to track ovarian function over time. The AMH test can be taken at any point in your cycle and it’s a valuable tool in making informed reproductive decisions. No referral needed – just book online and get tested at one of our convenient locations. Turnaround Time: Most results available in 1-2 working days. PLEASE NOTE: You are not required to fast for this blood test.

The Lipoprotein(a) blood test measures the level of Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), in your blood. Lipoprotein(a) is a type of cholesterol-carrying particle that, when elevated, can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks, strokes, and aortic valve stenosis. This test is a crucial tool for assessing inherited or unexplained heart disease risks. Why is it Important to Test? - Elevated Lp(a) levels are a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease, independent of other cholesterol levels. - High Lipoprotein(a) levels can contribute to the build-up of fatty deposits in arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and blood clot formation. - Unlike standard cholesterol tests, Lp(a) levels remain relatively stable throughout life, making this a one-time test for most people unless treatment or monitoring is needed. - Early detection of elevated Lp(a) allows for preventative strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk. Who Should Test for Lipoprotein(a)? - Have a family history of early heart disease, stroke, or sudden cardiac death. - Have personal or unexplained cardiovascular disease at a young age despite normal cholesterol levels. - Are diagnosed with high cholesterol or other lipid abnormalities. - Have a history of recurrent cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attacks) despite treatment. - Are undergoing evaluation for comprehensive cardiovascular risk. Turnaround Time: Most results available in 1-2 working days. PLEASE NOTE: You DO NOT need to fast before your Lipoprotein (a) test.
