What is the Muscle & Joint Health blood test?
If you're looking for a private Muscle & Joint Health blood test, MyScanHub offers a straightforward way to check key markers related to your musculoskeletal system. This test is suitable for individuals seeking proactive insights into their muscle and joint well-being, without needing a GP referral.
This specialised panel focuses on four key areas linked to muscle and joint conditions. It measures markers such as Creatine Kinase, Uric Acid, Rheumatoid Factor, and Lactate Dehydrogenase. It's important to understand that this test measures specific biological markers; a clinician interprets these results to provide context about your health.
Your small blood sample will be taken at our clinic in Dartford, Kent, and sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Your results will be reviewed by a clinician and made available in your secure online MyScanHub portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test directly online with a simple one-off payment.
