What is the Inflammation Check blood test?
A private Inflammation Check blood test can help you understand more about your body's general health and inflammatory markers. This focused panel is suitable for those seeking a proactive check-in on key health indicators, without needing a GP referral to book.
This comprehensive blood test measures markers across two key areas: Inflammation and a Full Blood Count. It provides a broad overview of your general health, immunity, and potential signs of inflammation. It's important to remember that this test measures specific markers; a qualified clinician will interpret your results to provide context.
Your small venous blood sample will be taken at our clinic in Dartford, Kent. It's then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. Your results are reviewed by a clinician and will be available in your secure MyScanHub portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test directly online with a simple one-off payment.

Inflammation Check — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Inflammation Check?
No fasting is needed for this test. You can eat and drink as normal before your appointment.
How quickly will I get my results?
Most results are ready within 2–5 working days and are uploaded to your secure MyScanHub portal once reviewed by a clinician.
How is the blood sample taken?
A trained phlebotomist takes a small venous blood sample from your arm at our Kent clinic. It's quick and carried out in a private, comfortable setting.
What happens if a result is outside the normal range?
Any result outside the usual reference range is clearly highlighted in your report. A blood test doesn't diagnose on its own, so we recommend discussing flagged results with a clinician — you can add a GP consultation to talk them through.
Do I need a GP referral to book?
No. You can book this blood test directly online — no GP referral is required. It's a one-off payment with no subscription.
