Description
The General Health Blood Test
This is Ivie’s most comprehensive blood test. By analysing 20 vital health markers, the General Health Blood Test checks your body's main systems for many common conditions that can seriously impact your wellbeing. Many of these conditions don’t have symptoms, so your test results can let you know if anything is amiss and give you a useful starting point for your next doctor’s appointment.
What’s tested?
There are 20 health markers analysed in this test, including:
- liver function – 5 markers (albumin, alkaline phosphate, alanine transaminase, gamma glutamyl transferase and total bilirubin)
- kidney function – 3 markers (urea, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate)
- muscle and bone health – 2 markers (calcium, adjusted calcium)
- iron studies – 1 marker (total iron carried in the blood and stored in the body's tissues – does not include ferritin and haemoglobin levels)
- cholesterol levels – 7 markers (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, TC:HDL ratio, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL percentage)
- diabetes risk – 1 marker (HbA1c)
- gout risk – 1 marker (uric acid)
Is it for me?
Yes, especially if you don’t have a yearly GP check-up.

Additional information
Advisory Information:
It is important to note that blood tests alone are not a substitute for seeing a doctor, particularly if you have any symptoms. You should not make a diagnosis or start any treatment without a consultation with a doctor or suitably trained healthcare professional.
You should always post your blood sample on the same day you take your test, so be aware that postal delays can affect this process.
Extreme heat
In very hot weather, it's vital to post your blood sample as close to your postbox collection times as possible.
Posting your sample close to collection times helps stop it from getting too hot in the postbox, which can increase the failure rate once it reaches our lab.
You can check your postbox collection times by visiting Royal Mail's services near you.

Good, helpful results
“Quick results as promised, but a ridiculous amount of blood required - 2 small tubes! I only managed to half fill one, but got results anyway”

Easy to do if you follow the instructions
“Reading the reviews, I was hesitant to order this and was worried I wouldn’t be able to fill the tubes. But when I actually did it, it was super easy and I managed to easily fill both tubes just from one finger. Just follow the instructions and make sure to warm up a little bit. The process straight forward and painless. I’ll be looking at doing this test every 6-12 months from now on.”

Underdelivers and overpromises
“I was delighted to receive this as a gift which offered a wide range of blood tests. However I too struggled to fill one vial of blood despite using 3 separate fingers taking around 30 to 40 minutes. I think the amount of blood required though understandable is not realistic from a finger prick. I haven't got my results yet so it will be interesting to see what has been possible with the blood I managed to extract. Feels overpriced and overpromised. Why not at least offer the option to select priority preferences”
