• Full Blood Count - This is a blood test measuring different types and number of cells in the blood including white cells (infection/immune response), red blood cells (to carry oxygen) and platelets (immune and blood clotting function). It gives a good indication of body health and can help detect many medical conditions.
Basophils - Basophils are one of the several kinds of white blood cells you have in your body. Basophils are a part of your immune system and are created inside of your bone marrow
Eosinophils - Eosinophils are a kind of white blood cell that helps fight disease; they're usually linked with allergic diseases and certain infections. They're made in your bone marrow and then travel to different tissues.
Haemoglobin - About 70 percent of your body's iron is found in the red blood cells of your blood called haemoglobin and in muscle cells called myoglobin. haemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from the lungs to the tissues.
Haematocrit - The haematocrit, also known by several other names, is the volume percentage of red blood cells in blood, measured as part of a blood test. Having too few or too many red blood cells can be a sign of certain diseases.
Lymphocytes - Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. They’re an important part of your immune system. About 20% to 40% of your white blood cells are lymphocytes.
Mean Cell Haemoglobin - The mean cell haemoglobin, or "mean corpuscular haemoglobin", is the average mass of haemoglobin per red blood cell in a sample of blood. A low MCH value typically indicates the presence of iron deficiency anaemia; while high MCH value can often be caused by anaemia due to a deficiency of B vitamins, particularly B-12 and folate
Mean Corpuscular Volume - The mean corpuscular volume, or mean cell volume, is a measure of the average volume (or size) of a red blood corpuscle. It can help diagnose different types of anaemia and other health conditions.
Mean Platelet Volume - Platelets are small blood cells that are essential for blood clotting, the process that helps you stop bleeding after an injury. An MPV blood test measures the average size of your platelets. The test can help diagnose bleeding disordersand diseases of the bone marrow.
MCHC -Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). MCHC checks the average amount of haemoglobin in a group of red blood cells.This can help in the diagnosis of anemia, a condition caused by not having enough healthy red blood cells, or the red blood cells you do have don't work as well as they should
Monocytes - Monocytes are a type of white blood cell. They are produced in the bone marrow and then enter the bloodstream. They fight certain infections and help other white blood cells remove dead or damaged cells and fight cancer cells.
Neutrophils - Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell. They make up the biggest number of all kinds of white blood cells. They kill and digest bacteria and fungi to help your body fight infections and heal wounds.
Platelet Count - A platelet count is a test that measures the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are cells that help your blood clot. Too few platelets can be a sign of cancer, infections or other health problems. Too many platelets put you at risk for blood clots or stroke.
RBC Distribution Width - The red cell distribution width (RDW) blood test measures the amount of red blood cell variation in volume and size. You need red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs to every part of your body. Anything outside of the normal range in red blood cell width or volume indicates a possible problem with bodily function that in turn may affect oxygen getting to various parts of your body.
Red Blood Cell - A red blood cell count test measures how many red blood cells your blood contains. The red blood cells contain haemoglobin — a protein that transports oxygen to all parts of your body. The test helps to identify several health conditions
White Blood Cell Count - A white blood count measures the number of white cells in your blood. White blood cells are part of the immune system. They help your body fight off infections and other diseases. When you get sick, your body makes more white blood cells to fight the bacteria, viruses, or other foreign substances causing your illness.
Neutrophils % - Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells. In healthy adults, they typically constitute about 50 to 70 percent of white blood cells and function as the first line of defence against bacteria and other foreign organisms. This percentage is what you read in your Full Blood Count as the Neutrophils %, or Relative Neutrophil Count
Lymphocytes % - Lymphocyte percentage is a measure of the number of lymphocytes represented as B cells (25%) and T cells (75%) in proportion to the white blood cell count in a single blood specimen.A high or low range of lymphocytes can suggest infection or a blood disorder
Monocytes % - Monocytes are one of the largest types of white blood cells. Each type of white blood cell has a unique role. Monocytes are responsible for attacking and breaking down germs and bacteria that enter the body. Monocytes % indicates whether the proportion of monocytes within the white blood cell count is healthy
The full blood test sits at the heart of many of our suites of tests. But it is available as a stand-alone to provide the most comprehensive assessment of your blood which is available. This test covers 18 biomarkers which is more than you can get from most NHS doctors
Anyone who wants to know what's going on their blood - something most of us just take for granted
