You can feel mostly fine and still not have a clear picture of what is happening inside. Ongoing tiredness, training that feels unusually hard, frequent minor illnesses, or a routine result you cannot quite make sense of can all leave you guessing.
COC Essential Blood Tests gives you a practical baseline across core systems. It combines a full blood count with liver and kidney function markers to help you understand how your body is functioning right now, using clear, clinically grounded data.
If you want a straightforward starting point you can act on, this test is designed to give you that clarity.
This test is offered in collaboration with Care Oncology Clinic, and you should discuss your test program with them before purchasing.
Upon purchase, your data and results are shared with Care Oncology Clinic.

Only for professional collection. This test includes our Home Nurse Visit service at no additional charge!
What the COC Essential Blood Tests test is for
COC Essential Blood Tests is designed to give you a clear, clinically grounded snapshot of how key systems are functioning right now. It brings together a full blood count with liver and kidney function markers so you can move from “I feel a bit off” to objective data you can interpret and act on.
The full blood count looks at the make-up of your blood, including red cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit, alongside platelets and the main white cell types. This helps build a picture of oxygen-carrying capacity, inflammation and immune activity. It can add context to symptoms such as ongoing tiredness, reduced exercise tolerance, frequent minor infections, or recovery that feels slower than usual. It can also be useful as a baseline if you are monitoring how you respond to changes in training, stress, sleep, or diet over time.
Liver function markers, including enzymes such as ALT, ALP and GGT, as well as proteins like albumin and total protein, provide insight into liver health and how your body is processing and producing key compounds. This can be relevant if you are trying to make sense of abnormal results, reviewing alcohol intake, considering the impact of certain medications, or looking for reassurance that things are within expected ranges.
Kidney function markers, such as creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), alongside electrolytes like sodium and potassium, help assess filtration and fluid balance. These results can inform conversations about hydration, blood pressure risk, medication safety, and overall metabolic stability.
Taken together, this panel offers a practical baseline across core systems. It does not diagnose a specific condition on its own, but it can highlight patterns worth addressing, support informed next steps with a clinician, and give you a reference point for future testing.

How this works ›Why take the COC Essential Blood Tests test?
This test is suited to adults who feel mostly well but want a clear baseline of core health markers across blood, liver, and kidney function.
It is a practical starting point if you are dealing with ongoing tiredness, reduced exercise tolerance, slower recovery, or frequent minor infections and want objective data to guide next steps.
It is also useful if you have had a routine result you cannot quite make sense of, or you want a reference point to track the impact of changes in training, stress, sleep, diet, alcohol intake, or certain medications over time.
- Are making changes to diet and/or alcohol intake and want objective measures of blood sugar control, cholesterol and liver health
- Feel run down or “slightly off” and want an objective baseline Full Blood Count (FBC) to compare future results against.
- Feel tired, run down, or not quite yourself and want an objective check for low-grade inflammation (hs-CRP)
- Have frequent infections or get ill often and want to check immune cell levels (white blood cells)
- Have recently had borderline HbA1c, cholesterol, or liver function results and want to monitor trends over time
- Have reduced exercise tolerance or slower recovery and want to rule out common blood-count issues (e.g., low haemoglobin/anaemia pattern) before adjusting training or lifestyle
- Train regularly and want to assess oxygen-carrying capacity (full blood count/haemoglobin) to support performance and recovery
- Want a baseline health screen to identify early liver/kidney/cardiometabolic risk before symptoms become severe
- Want a simple baseline of core kidney markers and electrolytes (e.g., creatinine, eGFR, sodium, potassium) to support safe medication use and hydration/fitness planning
- Want to investigate liver-related contributors to fatigue and assess liver health (e.g., drug/toxin metabolism, blood sugar handling)

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly found in your liver. ALT is used by your body to break down food into energy, with levels in the blood normally low.
Following liver damage, the levels of ALT in your blood will rise making it a useful means to indicate liver problems.
Fluctuation of ALT levels is normal over the course of the day, and can also increase in response to strenuous physical exercise.

| Alanine Aminotransferase | U/L | <45 | Unavailable |
| Albumin | 44g/L | 35 - 50 | Normal |
