A full kidney and liver blood profile
The kidneys and liver often work without symptoms for a long time, which is why a check-up biochemical profile is the fastest way to confirm everything is within normal range. At Health Factory you can get a full kidney and liver profile from a single blood draw.

Kidney profile
Assesses filtration and electrolyte balance — useful for hypertension, diabetes, long-term painkiller use and intensive training.
- Creatinine and eGFR — a measure of glomerular filtration
- Urea and uric acid
- Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate
- A urinalysis as a complementary test
Liver profile
Liver function tests show whether liver cells and bile ducts are working properly — worth checking after a course of antibiotics, with fatty liver disease, or with regular alcohol consumption.
- ALT, AST — liver cell enzymes
- GGT and ALP — bile ducts
- Total bilirubin
- Albumin and total protein
How to prepare
It's best to come in the morning, 8–12 hours after your last meal, avoiding alcohol and intense exercise in the 48 hours beforehand. A mandatory £25 phlebotomy fee applies to every appointment (covers the blood draw, sample handling and transport to the laboratory).

Frequently asked questions
Can the kidney and liver profile be combined with a full blood count?
Yes — a single blood draw can cover a full blood count, kidney profile, liver profile and lipid panel.
Do I need to fast?
Yes, we recommend 8–12 hours of fasting so the biochemistry results are fully comparable.
When should the test be repeated?
Once a year if results are normal; if there are abnormalities, as recommended by your doctor, usually after 4–12 weeks.
