What is the Metabolic Syndrome Check Extended blood test?
Our private Metabolic Syndrome Check Extended blood test offers a detailed look at key health markers, making it a popular choice for those wanting a proactive assessment. You can book this comprehensive check directly online without needing a GP referral.
This extended panel covers three vital areas: Heart Health, focusing on cholesterol and lipid markers like Total Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, and Triglycerides; Metabolic Syndrome, looking at adipokines such as Leptin and Adiponectin; and Diabetes Health, measuring Glucose, HbA1c, Insulin, and C-peptide. It's important to remember that this blood test measures specific markers; a qualified clinician interprets these findings to help you understand your health picture.
Your single blood sample will be taken by a trained phlebotomist at our clinic in Dartford, Kent. It's then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. Your results, reviewed by a clinician, will be available in your secure MyScanHub online portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test Dartford directly online with a one-off payment, no subscription needed.

Metabolic Syndrome Check Extended — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Metabolic Syndrome Check Extended?
Yes — we recommend fasting for 8–10 hours beforehand (water is fine), as recent food and drink can affect cholesterol and glucose readings.
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.
