This extended health checkup measures a broad range of biomarkers across several body systems. It can serve as a starting point for anyone who wants a general overview of their health, covering blood cell counts, cholesterol, thyroid function, vitamin levels, and metabolic markers.
Why this test?
Changes in blood values often develop gradually and may go unnoticed for a long time. This panel brings together markers from different body systems, providing a broad snapshot in a single test. It may offer early awareness of shifts in areas such as blood sugar regulation, lipid balance, thyroid activity, or nutrient levels, even when no symptoms are present.
Who is this test for?
This test may be relevant for:
- People who want a general overview of their health
- Those who have not had blood work done recently
- Anyone curious about their cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid, or vitamin levels
- People who want to establish a personal baseline to track changes over time
What is tested?
This panel includes the following markers:
- CBC (Complete Blood Count): measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
- Creatinine and eGFR: reflect kidney filtration capacity
- Ferritin: an indicator of iron storage in the body
- Free T3 and Free T4: active thyroid hormones
- TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone, involved in thyroid regulation
- HbA1c: reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months
- HDL and LDL Cholesterol: different types of cholesterol that together form a lipid profile
- Triglycerides: a type of fat in the blood associated with metabolic health
- LFT (Liver Function Test): a group of markers related to liver health
- Vitamin B12: involved in nerve function and red blood cell production
- Vitamin D: plays a role in bone health and immune function
What can this test tell you?
This panel covers multiple body systems, so the results can touch on several areas at once. For example, shifts in HbA1c or fasting glucose may suggest changes in blood sugar regulation. Cholesterol values outside the reference range could indicate altered lipid metabolism. Thyroid markers may reflect changes in metabolic rate, and vitamin levels can point to possible nutritional gaps.
Because the panel is broad, it is well suited for spotting patterns that might not be apparent from a single marker alone. Results are best reviewed together with a healthcare provider for context.
How is the sample collected?
This test uses a blood sample collected at a certified sample point (afnamepunt). With over 750 partner locations across the Netherlands, you can choose a location that suits you. You can book an appointment online or walk in during opening hours. A trained phlebotomist performs the blood draw, and results are typically available within a few working days.
When is this test useful?
This test may be useful in several situations:
- As a general health check when you have no specific complaints
- When you want to see how lifestyle changes may have affected your blood values
- If you experience vague symptoms such as fatigue, low energy, or difficulty concentrating
- When you want to discuss your health status with a healthcare provider and prefer to have recent blood work available
What do the results mean?
Each marker is presented with your measured value and the corresponding reference range. Values within range generally suggest that the measured function is operating as expected. Values outside the range do not automatically indicate a problem; they may warrant further investigation or a follow-up conversation with a healthcare provider.
Because this panel covers many markers, looking at patterns across results can be more informative than focusing on a single value. Your report includes plain-language explanations to help you understand each marker.
Preparation
Fasting for 8 to 12 hours before your appointment is required for accurate results. Water is allowed during the fasting period. It is recommended to schedule your blood draw in the morning. Avoid strenuous exercise in the 24 hours before collection.
What happens after the results?
Your results are typically available within a few working days after the sample has been analysed. The report includes your measured values alongside reference ranges, with plain-language explanations for each marker. If any value falls outside the expected range, the report highlights this clearly. We recommend discussing your results with a healthcare provider, who can place them in the context of your personal health situation and advise on any follow-up steps.

What We Test
This health panel includes 14 biomarkers to give you a comprehensive picture of your health.
Free T3 (triiodothronine) is considered the most active thyroid hormone. It may play a key role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and body temperature. Healthcare providers often assess Free T3 alongside other thyroid markers for a comprehensive picture.
Learn moreFree T4 (thyroxine) is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It may serve as a precursor that your body converts into the more active T3. Healthcare providers often consider Free T4 a primary indicator of thyroid gland output.
Learn moreThyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and serves as the master regulator of thyroid function. TSH levels may help indicate whether the thyroid is producing appropriate amounts of hormones. Your healthcare provider can interpret your TSH results.
Learn moreVitamin B12 is considered essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency may develop gradually and is sometimes associated with dietary patterns. Healthcare providers can help interpret your results.
Learn moreVitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. It is primarily produced in the skin through sunlight exposure and can also be obtained from certain foods and supplements.
Learn moreFerritin is a protein that stores iron in your cells and releases it when your body needs it. Blood ferritin levels reflect your body's total iron stores and are the most sensitive indicator for iron deficiency.
Learn moreHbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is the gold standard for long-term blood sugar monitoring and diabetes management.
Learn moreHDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "good" cholesterol because it helps transport excess cholesterol from the arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk.
Learn moreLDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol because elevated levels can lead to plaque build-up in artery walls, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Learn moreTriglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body, used for energy storage. Elevated levels may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially when combined with other lipid abnormalities.
Learn moreA liver function test is a comprehensive blood panel that combines multiple markers to assess overall liver health and function. It typically includes enzymes such as ALT, AST, and GGT, along with bilirubin, albumin, and other indicators to provide a complete picture of how well the liver is performing.
Learn moreCreatinine is a waste product generated by normal muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. It is widely regarded as the gold standard marker for evaluating kidney function, as consistent production makes it a reliable indicator of filtration efficiency.
Learn moreeGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a calculated measure of how effectively your kidneys filter waste from the blood. It is the gold standard for diagnosing and staging chronic kidney disease and is derived from blood creatinine or cystatin C levels along with demographic factors.
Learn moreA complete blood count (CBC) is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates the major components of your blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests and provides a broad overview of your overall health.
Learn moreFree T3 (Triiodothyronine)
ThyroidFree T3 (triiodothronine) is considered the most active thyroid hormone. It may play a key role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and body temperature. Healthcare providers often assess Free T3 alongside other thyroid markers for a comprehensive picture.
Free T3 may help your healthcare provider evaluate how well your thyroid is functioning at a cellular level. Some experts suggest it can reveal conversion issues that other thyroid tests might miss, potentially offering a more complete understanding of thyroid health.
Free T4 (Thyroxine)
ThyroidFree T4 (thyroxine) is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It may serve as a precursor that your body converts into the more active T3. Healthcare providers often consider Free T4 a primary indicator of thyroid gland output.
Free T4 may help your healthcare provider determine whether your thyroid gland is producing adequate hormone levels. Some experts consider it one of the most informative markers for detecting both overactive and underactive thyroid conditions early.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
ThyroidThyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and serves as the master regulator of thyroid function. TSH levels may help indicate whether the thyroid is producing appropriate amounts of hormones. Your healthcare provider can interpret your TSH results.
TSH is widely considered the most sensitive initial screening test for thyroid disorders. Even subtle changes in thyroid function may be reflected in TSH levels before other thyroid markers become abnormal. Your healthcare provider may use TSH as a starting point for comprehensive thyroid evaluation.
Vitamin B12
VitaminsVitamin B12 is considered essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency may develop gradually and is sometimes associated with dietary patterns. Healthcare providers can help interpret your results.
Vitamin B12 is believed to be vital for healthy nerve cells, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. Low levels may be associated with anaemia, fatigue, and neurological symptoms. Early detection through testing may help prevent long-term complications.
Vitamin D (25-OH)
VitaminsVitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. It is primarily produced in the skin through sunlight exposure and can also be obtained from certain foods and supplements.
Adequate vitamin D levels are essential for strong bones, a well-functioning immune system, and overall well-being. Low levels may be associated with an increased risk of bone disorders, mood changes, and weakened immunity. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
Ferritin
MineralsFerritin is a protein that stores iron in your cells and releases it when your body needs it. Blood ferritin levels reflect your body's total iron stores and are the most sensitive indicator for iron deficiency.
Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy production, and immune function. Ferritin testing helps detect iron deficiency before anaemia develops, or iron overload which can damage organs. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)
MetabolicHbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is the gold standard for long-term blood sugar monitoring and diabetes management.
HbA1c provides a long-term view of blood sugar control, unlike fasting glucose which reflects a single point in time. It is essential for diabetes diagnosis and management. Consult your healthcare provider.
HDL Cholesterol
CardiovascularHDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "good" cholesterol because it helps transport excess cholesterol from the arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk.
HDL cholesterol is a key component of cardiovascular risk assessment. Low HDL may be associated with increased heart disease risk, while healthy levels support arterial protection. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.
LDL Cholesterol
CardiovascularLDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol because elevated levels can lead to plaque build-up in artery walls, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
LDL cholesterol is a primary driver of atherosclerosis. Lowering elevated LDL is one of the most effective strategies for reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised targets.
Triglycerides
CardiovascularTriglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body, used for energy storage. Elevated levels may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially when combined with other lipid abnormalities.
Elevated triglycerides may contribute to atherosclerosis and are a component of metabolic syndrome. They are often elevated alongside insulin resistance. Consult your healthcare provider.
Liver Function Test (LFT)
LiverA liver function test is a comprehensive blood panel that combines multiple markers to assess overall liver health and function. It typically includes enzymes such as ALT, AST, and GGT, along with bilirubin, albumin, and other indicators to provide a complete picture of how well the liver is performing.
The liver performs over 500 vital functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and bile production. A comprehensive liver function test provides a holistic assessment that individual markers alone cannot offer. Early detection of liver dysfunction through routine testing allows for timely intervention, which is particularly important because liver disease often progresses silently without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred.
Creatinine
KidneyCreatinine is a waste product generated by normal muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. It is widely regarded as the gold standard marker for evaluating kidney function, as consistent production makes it a reliable indicator of filtration efficiency.
Creatinine is central to assessing kidney health. It is used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which is the primary measure for staging chronic kidney disease. Early detection of rising creatinine levels can prompt timely intervention, helping to slow the progression of kidney damage. Monitoring creatinine is also important for adjusting medication dosages, as many drugs are cleared by the kidneys.
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)
KidneyeGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a calculated measure of how effectively your kidneys filter waste from the blood. It is the gold standard for diagnosing and staging chronic kidney disease and is derived from blood creatinine or cystatin C levels along with demographic factors.
eGFR is the most important single measure for assessing overall kidney function. It is used internationally to diagnose chronic kidney disease, determine its stage, and guide treatment decisions. Regular eGFR monitoring allows early detection of kidney function decline, often before symptoms appear. This is critical because early intervention can significantly slow the progression of kidney disease and reduce the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
HematologyA complete blood count (CBC) is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates the major components of your blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests and provides a broad overview of your overall health.
The CBC is a cornerstone of preventive healthcare and diagnostic medicine. It can help detect a wide range of conditions including anemia, infections, immune disorders, blood cancers, and clotting problems. Regular CBC testing supports early detection and ongoing health monitoring.
