What can I expect from Well Person Premier Plus Profile?

This is an extensive general wellness profile for both men and women.

It gives you vital information about a wide range of very important health conditions. Having a blood test today can add years of health and wellness to your life. The conditions tested for very often take many years for symptoms to develop and some do not show any symptoms at all, but if not tested for, in the meantime, untreated, damage is being done.

A full blood count tests for haemoglobin levels, red cells, white cells and platelets. This checks for anaemia and can also give early insight into a very wide range of blood diseases and health conditions that are commonly slow to become apparent from symptoms. It adds vital insight into the activity of your immune system and your clotting function.

This profile will tell you if you have diabetes (HbA1c) - there are over 1 million people with diabetes who do not know they have it. Finding out will enable you to make the lifestyle changes and start treatments that will significantly lengthen your life and improve how you feel every day.

Your thyroid function is tested. Over 4% of people currently have low thyroid function and do not know about it. It is a notoriously difficult condition to diagnose by symptoms or medical examination. It is a blood test that gives you a definitive answer and can potentially avoid months, and often years, of unexplained tiredness, weight gain, constipation, depression, anxiety, and more. If your thyroid is overactive there is a whole other set of problems that need treating.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very signficant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to detect if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test. It will enable you to make the changes you need to reduce your risk of some of the most common causes of death.

A full iron status profile, including ferritin is analysed. Iron is essential to maintain blood health (among other things) and your current levels and storage capacity are very important indicators for many health conditions.

This profile also checks your liver function. Your liver is probably the most complex and vital organ in your body. It does such a wide range of things including digesting all your food and removing toxins and poisons - like alcohol. Finding that your liver is being stressed can make a huge difference to its (and your) long term health and wellness.

Included is a kidney function test. Your kidney is also a vital organ. Checking that it is working properly is done primarily by blood tests which will give you the opportunity to get treatment early if any is needed.

It checks your bone health with a calcium level, which is vital for bones and many other bodily systems, and checks you muscle health with creatine kinase which can show if you have damaged muscles. It checks for gout which can be altered dramatically with lifestyle and treatment and can cause a lot of misery if ignored.

This profile includes 49 health indicators and because of its extensive size needs a phlebotomy sample, which can be given at any one of our nationwide partner locations or from our home visting phlebotomy service.

If you are unable to get to a phlebotomist, most elements of this profile can be done with a finger-prick home test kit - although not everything. Look at the General Health Profiile, Thyroid Function - Diagnosis and Monitoring, home test kits.
