What is the Health Check Profile?
A health check blood test is an important sample even if you have no symptoms. With this kit, you can investigate health risks and determine if you have a healthy lifestyle.
Why should you get one?
Several risks exist to the liver, cholesterol, kidneys, and iron. Therefore, you should get a check even if you do not have any symptoms.
The health check is a sample kit for the home. You may ask, can I check my body? A Wellman full body MOT Test for Health is the perfect Private Health Screening.
What are the Instructions for home use?
Please take your sample in the morning, at least one hour before any medication. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test.
15 BioMarkers:
- Urea: measures how well your kidneys are functioning.
- Creatinine: measures malfunction or failure of your kidneys.
- Sodium: helps your nerves and muscles function properly. Measures the amount of sodium in your blood.
- Iron: helps carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of the body.
- CRP HS (C-reactive protein High Sensitivity) measures levels of inflammation in your body.
- Total cholesterol: the total amount of cholesterol present in the blood.
- LDL cholesterol: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is known as “bad” cholesterol. High LDL levels raise your risk of stroke, heart attack and atherosclerosis.
- HDL cholesterol: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as “good” cholesterol as it helps eliminate LDL from the blood.
- Triglycerides: Triglycerides are the body’s form of fat storage, most of which are found in fatty tissues and circulating in the blood to fuel muscles to work.
- Total / HDL: the ratio is used to measure cardiovascular risk.
- Bilirubin: is made by the liver and excreted in the bile. Elevated levels may indicate an obstruction of bile flow or a problem in the liver’s processing of bile.
- ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): measures any liver, gallbladder or bone disease.
- ALT (Alanine Transferase): indicates liver damage caused by alcohol, drugs or viruses.
- Albumin: helps maintain the osmotic pressure between the blood vessels and tissues.
- AST: measures the level of the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase in your blood.

A Shared Story: maybe you would like to hear someone else’s views?
Prevention is better than a cure?
Blood tests are a fundamental tool for understanding a person’s health status.
Therefore, it is important to understand how often to carry out these ‘routine checks’ to verify that you are healthy and diagnose any pathologies while they are still embryonic.
Below are the indications of Dr. Martina Williams – Head of the Analysis Laboratory of Maria Cecilia Hospital and contact person for the St. Andrews Memorial sampling point.
Diagnostics as a prevention tool
Blood tests are fundamental; they allow us to monitor our health and correctly prevent the most important pathologies. The time risk factor should not be underestimated for any disease; blood tests are, in fact, an excellent “alarm bell” for various pathologies. They allow a quick check-up and give the doctor a quick overview of your health.
General blood chemistry checks must be carried out periodically to maintain good health. Through a simple venous sampling, it is possible to prevent the most important social diseases, for example, diabetes, tumours, cardiovascular diseases, liver and kidney disease, etc.).
For this purpose, the family doctor requests various laboratory exams, which provide useful data to evaluate the health and functionality of important organs and systems.
Consequently, with a quick and minimally invasive blood test or a urine sample collection, you have much fundamental information about the subject’s health.
So they are very useful for at least 4 reasons:
- for prevention
- confirmation of symptoms of diseases and health conditions
- are necessary before performing surgery
- monitoring of therapies and treatments with drugs
The blood test results give us an overall picture of our health. In particular, it is useful to check:
- anaemia (with the martial structure)
- blood count to identify haematological problems
- liver health status (alkaline phosphatase, transaminase, bilirubin, gamma-GT),
- kidney health (azotemia, creatinine),
- metabolic functions (glycaemia, cholesterol, triglycerides, thyroid hormones, etc.),
- the risk of incurring cardiovascular diseases (homocysteine, CPK)
- presence of infections (urine culture, blood count, inflammatory indices)
Searching for tumour markers and biological indicators useful for diagnosing a tumour is also possible. These include PSA for prostate cancer.
How often should a person make a sample?
The correct answer to our question is that the blood test in a healthy person should be performed at least once a year.
Certainly, the wisest choice is to let the family doctor advise you, who, knowing the medical history, can direct the patient best.
At San Pier Damiano Hospital’s sampling point and Maria Cecilia Hospital’s analysis laboratory, all the main laboratory tests (clinical biochemistry, haematology and coagulation, microbiology, endocrinology, infectious disease serology, immunology, tumour markers, hormonal and biochemical monitoring of fertility and pregnancy) can be carried out. You can take advantage of the new individual prevention paths based on your needs.
The new Check-up Packages are designed for individual pathologies or to analyse lifestyles.

I arranged Health Check Profile Home Test Kit through Medicines Onlines. It was all very easy and they sent me to do the blood test.The result came through quickly and I found them to be a very professional and friendly organisation. Would highly recommend.
Henry Eastham –
I had a blood test done through medicines online which highlighted health issues I didn’t know about. I’ve since returned and had two other tests for different things. I’ve also recommended them to family. The test results come with very comprehensive doctors advice about the reasons certain levels might be high or low and what can be done about it. I feel like I’ve got such an amazing insight into my health now and I’m going to keep using them in the future
