Below are the key blood tests used in, each focusing on a specific hormone or indicator. Please confirm the package you are looking for.
A test that determines your ABO (A, B, AB, O) and Rh (positive or negative) blood type. It’s essential for safe blood transfusions, pregnancy care (Rh compatibility), and medical emergencies.
Measures blood sugar levels after at least 8 hours without food. It helps diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. Elevated levels may indicate impaired glucose metabolism or insulin resistance. A key test for monitoring metabolic health.
A group of blood tests assessing nutrients vital for red blood cell production, mainly iron (ferritin), vitamin B12, and folate (vitamin B9). They help diagnose causes of anaemia and guide treatment for fatigue, weakness, or low haemoglobin levels.
This test checks for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, indicating past or current infection. A positive result means exposure has occurred; further testing (HCV RNA) is needed to confirm active infection. Used in routine screening and diagnosis.
A blood test that detects antibodies and antigens for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses. It helps diagnose HIV infection early and differentiate between the two types for appropriate treatment and management. Used in routine screening and high-risk situations.
Blood tests detecting antibodies against parvovirus B19.
IgM: Indicates recent or active infection.
IgG: Shows past exposure or immunity.
Important for diagnosing infection, especially in pregnant women, as it can affect the fetus.
A blood test that detects antibodies to the bacterium Treponema pallidum, the cause of syphilis. It helps diagnose current or past infection and is used in routine screening and during pregnancy to prevent complications.
Blood tests detecting antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii.
IgM: Indicates recent or active infection.
IgG: Shows past exposure or immunity.
Important in pregnancy to assess risk of congenital infection and guide care.
A blood test that detects IgG antibodies against the varicella-zoster virus, indicating past infection or vaccination and immunity to chickenpox. Important for confirming protection, especially before pregnancy or in immunocompromised individuals.
A blood test measuring levels of vitamin D, essential for bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption. Low levels can lead to bone disorders like rickets or osteoporosis, and deficiency is common in certain populations or during winter months.
Evaluates how well your blood clots. Common tests include PT, aPTT, and INR. Used to detect bleeding disorders, monitor blood-thinning therapy, and assess clotting before surgery or in unexplained bruising or bleeding.
A comprehensive test measuring red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It helps detect anaemia, infections, inflammation, clotting issues, and blood disorders, and is often used in routine health assessments.
A test that identifies different types of haemoglobin in the blood. It helps diagnose genetic blood disorders like sickle cell disease or thalassemia by detecting abnormal haemoglobin variants. Often used when anaemia or a family history of such conditions is present.
A blood test used to detect active hepatitis B infection. A positive result indicates current infection and potential to spread the virus. It's important for screening, especially in pregnancy, healthcare settings, or before immunosuppressive therapy.
A hormone produced in early pregnancy by the placenta. hCG is detected in blood or urine to confirm pregnancy and monitor its progression. It’s also used to help diagnose ectopic pregnancy or certain tumours.
A group of blood tests measuring enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP), bilirubin, and proteins (albumin) to assess liver health. They help detect liver damage, inflammation, infection, or diseases like hepatitis and monitor liver-related treatments.
A blood test that detects IgG antibodies against the rubella virus, indicating immunity from past infection or vaccination. It’s crucial for confirming protection, especially before or during pregnancy, to prevent congenital rubella syndrome.
A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates thyroid function by stimulating the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). It’s measured to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
A primary hormone produced by the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism, energy, and growth. Measuring T4 levels helps assess thyroid function and diagnose disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. It works closely with TSH in thyroid regulation.
Blood tests measuring kidney function and body chemistry, including urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. They help assess hydration, kidney health, acid-base balance, and electrolyte imbalances.
Pregnancy Blood Test (HCG)
Blood test diagnostic for pregnancy, and measuring pregnancy levels.
- Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG)

Infection and immunity screen in pregnancy Blood Test (Antenatal Blood Test)
Screening blood tests for those who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, including immunity to the disease.
Tests for: Blood Group, Clotting, Fasting Glucose, Full Blood Count (FBC), Haemoglobin Electrophoresis, Haematinics, Hepatitis B Surface Ag, Hepatitis C Ab, HIV ½, Liver Function Tests (LFT), Parvovirus IgM/G, Rubella IgG, Syphilis Ab, Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Thyroxine (T4), Toxoplasma IgM/G, Urea and Electrolytes, Varicella IgG, Vitamin D

A pregnancy blood test checks for the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced during pregnancy. It can detect pregnancy earlier than a home urine test.
A blood test can detect pregnancy as early as 6 to 8 days after ovulation, making it more sensitive than home urine tests.
There are two main types of pregnancy blood tests:
Qualitative hCG test: Confirms whether hCG is present (Yes/No result).
Quantitative hCG test: Measures the exact level of hCG in your blood, useful for tracking pregnancy progression.
Yes, blood tests are more sensitive and can detect pregnancy earlier than urine tests, as they can detect lower levels of hCG.
No, fasting is not required for a pregnancy blood test. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
Results from a pregnancy blood test can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the lab.
False positives are rare but can occur due to certain medications or medical conditions. False negatives may occur if the test is done too early when hCG levels are still low.
In early pregnancy, hCG levels can vary widely, typically ranging from 5 to 50 mIU/mL at 3 weeks, and increasing rapidly as the pregnancy progresses.
If you have a positive home pregnancy test, your doctor may recommend a blood test to confirm the pregnancy and monitor hCG levels, especially if you have a history of complications.
Yes, a quantitative hCG test can help detect abnormal pregnancies (e.g., ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage) and other conditions like trophoblastic disease.
