We offer a variety of vitamin blood tests that can help you determine if you’re deficient in vitamins or minerals. Our highly experienced team of professionals will take a sample of your blood and analyse it for deficiencies in key nutrients. Vitamin blood tests check the amounts of certain vitamins in your blood. This helps find out if you have any missing vitamins or too much of some vitamins. These tests usually look at important vitamins like Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and folate, which are very important for strong bones, energy, and how your body works. By looking at these vitamin levels, doctors can find problems like anaemia, weak bones, or tiredness caused by not having enough vitamins. Also, these tests can help see if taking extra vitamins or changing your diet is working well, making sure you stay healthy with the right amount of nutrients.

A blood film examines red and white blood cells and platelets under a microscope. It helps detect anaemia, infections, blood disorders, and liver-related or metabolic abnormalities, providing detailed insight into overall blood health.
The Factor VIIIc assay measures the activity of clotting Factor VIII in the blood. It helps diagnose haemophilia A, evaluate bleeding or clotting disorders, and monitor coagulation function for overall blood and liver health.
Ferritin reflects the body’s iron stores and helps assess iron levels. Measuring ferritin can detect iron deficiency, iron overload, or liver-related metabolic issues, supporting the diagnosis and management of anaemia and overall health.
Fibrinogen is a blood protein essential for clot formation. Measuring fibrinogen levels helps assess clotting ability, detect bleeding or thrombotic disorders, and monitor liver function and overall cardiovascular health.
Folate is a vital vitamin for red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. Testing folate levels helps detect deficiencies that may cause anaemia, support liver function, and maintain overall metabolic and nutritional health.
A Full Blood Count (FBC) measures red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets. It provides a comprehensive overview of blood health, helping detect anaemia, infection, clotting issues, and monitor overall metabolic and liver function.
Haemoglobin electrophoresis analyses different types of haemoglobin in the blood. It helps detect genetic disorders like sickle cell disease or thalassemia, assess anaemia causes, and monitor overall blood and metabolic health.
Haemoglobin levels measure the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. Testing helps detect anaemia, blood loss, or liver-related disorders, providing insight into overall blood health and guiding diagnosis and treatment.
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) measures the average size of red blood cells. It helps detect types of anaemia, nutrient deficiencies, or liver-related blood disorders, providing insight into overall blood and metabolic health.
