Special instructions

Please take your sample in the morning. CRP levels can be affected by infection, inflammation, and illness. If you are taking this test because you have recently developed symptoms or they are worsening you should discuss these with your doctor. We suggest taking your test when any short-term change in your symptoms have settled. Fasting is optional for this test. Eating fatty foods might affect the results of a small number of blood tests so we may advise a retest when you are fasted. If you are interested in your triglyceride or LDL levels, then we do recommend fasting. Do not take vitamin B12 for two weeks prior to this test. If your B12 is prescribed ask your doctor whether you should stop before testing. Do not take biotin supplements for 2 days prior to this test. If you are taking prescribed biotin you should discuss this with your doctor. Avoid heavy exercise and eating meat-rich meals for 48 hours before your test. You should take this test before you take any vitamin or mineral supplements.

From the expert

Formerly known as Essential UltraVit Blood Test.

The Advanced Essential Blood Test is a comprehensive blood test which analyses key markers for liver and kidney function, cholesterol, diabetes, bone health and inflammation as well as a full blood count which looks at red and white blood cells. It also examines thyroid function (TSH and FT4) as well as vitamins B12, D and folate.

The Advanced Essential Blood Test is an excellent health check for people who want a comprehensive test to examine their health status on a wide variety of different markers including thyroid function and nutritional status.
