Why this package
Not because something's wrong — because it's worth knowing.
Most people only test what's already bothering them. Balance is built for the systems that rarely give early warning on their own — thyroid, liver and hepatitis status alongside the usual bloodwork — so a check-up tells patients more than "normal" or "not."

What's covered — 9 panels, one draw
What's covered — 9 panels, one draw
Haematology &
Inflammation
Full Blood Count, Calcium,
Phosphate, Uric Acid, hs-CRP,
Rheumatoid Factor
Full blood count looks at red cells, white cells and platelets. ESR and hs-CRP are general markers of inflammation, and Rheumatoid
Factor is an antibody sometimes associated with inflammatory joint conditions.
These markers can be raised for many reasons, including minor infections —
a raised result is not a diagnosis on its own; the doctor interprets them alongside the rest of the results.

Cholesterol travels through the blood in different forms — this breaks down the "good" (HDL), "bad" (LDL) and triglycerides that together shape cardiovascular risk.

HbA1c reflects average blood sugar over the past two to three months rather than a single reading — a steadier way to see how the body is handling glucose.

Tumour Markers
Tumour Markers
AFP (liver), CEA (colorectal)
AFP (liver), CEA (colorectal)
AFP (liver) and CEA (colorectal) are tumour markers. They are not recommended as stand-alone cancer screening tests, can be raised in non-cancer conditions, and can be normal even when cancer is present. If a result is raised, the doctor explains what it may mean and whether further tests are needed.

Who it's for
Haven't had a check-up in a while
A single visit that covers the systems a routine check-up often skips.
Questions before coming in
Do I need to fast beforehand?
Fasting is usually not required for the tests in this package.
When are results ready?
Turnaround time is 48 hours before results are out. Our team will
schedule a review of the results with you thereafter.
What happens if something is outside the usual range?
The doctor explains what it means in context and, where relevant, suggests next steps or further tests — the screen is a starting point for a conversation, not a diagnosis on its own. Any further tests are discussed with you first and charged separately.
How long does the visit take?
The blood and urine collection itself is quick —most of the
appointment time is the sample draw plus a short consult with
the doctor..
