Blood Silver adds iron and total iron‑binding capacity (TIBC) to the Bronze panel, covering six markers: ESR, glucose, iron, renal function, bone profile, and lipid profile. This expanded set helps evaluate anemia risk alongside inflammation and metabolic health. Phlebotomy is an extra £50 per visit.
About this treatment
Building on the Bronze tier, the Blood Silver panel incorporates iron studies to provide insight into iron status and potential anemia. The test measures ESR for inflammation, fasting glucose for glycaemic control, serum iron and TIBC to assess iron availability, renal function tests for kidney health, bone profile for mineral balance, and a full lipid profile for cardiovascular risk. A single venous blood draw is processed with results typically returned in 3‑5 business days, accompanied by a detailed report and a follow‑up call to discuss any abnormalities. This tier suits individuals monitoring iron levels or those with a family history of anemia, with phlebotomy charged separately at £50 per visit.

Biomarkers tested
3Erythrocyte sedimentation rate — measures how quickly red blood cells settle to the bottom of a test tube. Faster settling indicates more inflammation. ESR is a non-specific marker used to monitor inflammatory conditions like arthritis and vasculitis.
Blood sugar — the body's primary energy source. Fasting glucose screens for diabetes and prediabetes. Chronically elevated glucose damages blood vessels and organs. Levels fluctuate with meals, stress, and physical activity.
A mineral essential for oxygen transport (in hemoglobin), energy production, and immune function. Serum iron measures the amount circulating in blood, but ferritin and TIBC provide a more complete picture of iron status.
