Who This Adult Blood Test Is For – Read This First

This service is for adults who feel “mostly fine” but know something may not be quite right.

You should consider an adult blood test in London if you:

• Feel tired, flat, or low energy without a clear reason
• Have not had blood tests in the last 12–18 months
• Are over 30 and want a proper health baseline
• Are worried about cholesterol, diabetes, or liver health
• Drink alcohol socially and want reassurance
• Want answers now, not after months of waiting

At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we see many patients who delayed testing because they felt “not sick enough”. Blood results often show early changes before symptoms appear.

This is exactly when testing is most useful.

Why Adults Book Blood Tests Before Symptoms Appear

Most health conditions do not start with pain.

They start silently.

In adults, we commonly detect:

• Rising cholesterol
• Early blood sugar changes
• Vitamin D or B12 deficiency
• Thyroid imbalance
• Liver strain from alcohol or medication
• Inflammation markers increasing

These changes are not picked up by routine NHS care unless symptoms are severe.

A private adult blood test allows you to see what is happening now, not when damage is already done.

Why Book an Adult Blood Test in London – Not Later

Living in London comes with specific health pressures:

• Long work hours
• High stress
• Poor sleep
• Irregular meals
• Alcohol and social drinking
• Limited sunlight exposure

Clinically, we see vitamin deficiencies and metabolic changes far earlier in city professionals than expected.

Testing now allows:

• Early correction
• Lifestyle changes before medication
• Peace of mind
• A reliable health baseline

Waiting often turns small issues into complex ones.

What Does an Adult Blood Test Check?

An adult blood test looks at multiple body systems at once.

At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, this typically includes:

General Health

• Full Blood Count
  Detects anaemia, infection, immune changes.

Liver Function

• ALT, AST, ALP, Bilirubin
  Assesses alcohol impact, medication strain, fatty liver risk.

Kidney Function

• Urea, Creatinine, eGFR
  Monitors hydration and kidney health.

Cholesterol

• Total, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides
  Identifies cardiovascular risk early.

Diabetes Screening

• HbA1c
  Shows blood sugar control over 3 months.

Thyroid Health

• TSH, Free T4, Free T3
  Links to fatigue, weight, mood, focus.

Vitamins & Minerals

• Vitamin D, B12, Iron, Magnesium
  Very common causes of fatigue and low energy.

Inflammation

• CRP
  Identifies hidden inflammation before disease develops.

This approach gives a 360-degree health overview in one visit.

Why Many Adults Choose a Combined Health Check

Testing individual markers in isolation often misses the bigger picture.

Most adults benefit from a combined Adult Health Check, because:

• Symptoms overlap
• One abnormal result often affects others
• It is more cost-effective
• It provides clarity, not fragments

This is why many patients choose MDC’s Adult Health Check (360° Overview).

Common Adult Symptoms That Justify Blood Testing

You do not need to feel “ill” to justify testing.

Adults commonly book blood tests for:

• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Low motivation
• Poor sleep
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Reduced exercise tolerance
• Frequent illness
• Digestive discomfort
• Anxiety or low mood

These symptoms are often biochemical, not psychological.

We are not replacing the NHS.
We are filling the gap for adults who want answers now.

Don’t Wait for Symptoms

If you are relying on “feeling okay” as reassurance, you are guessing.
