This package does not include tests from 2 key health areas.
Listed more than onceA line in the lab's list that names a test already on the list. The advertised count goes up by one; you still get one result. We show the lab's own labels, exactly as printed, so you can check each one yourself.
17 lines of the advertised count come from 3 tests listed more than once.
- Findings of one test, listed one by oneOne examination that can report several findings, with each possible finding listed as if it were its own test. A microscope look at urine reports whichever crystals are there; ten crystal types are still one test.+9 in the countAmorphous phosphate crystalsAmorphous urates crystalsCalcium oxalate dihydrate crystalsCalcium oxalate monohydrate crystalsCalcium PhosphateCystine crystalsLeucine crystalsTriple Phosphate crystalsTyrosine crystalsUric acid crystalsone test: Urine Crystals
One look at a urine sample under the microscope reports whichever crystals are there. Each crystal type is a possible finding of that one test, not a test of its own.

Casts are seen in the same microscope look at a urine sample. Each cast type is a possible finding of that one test, not a test of its own.

Rods and cocci are two shapes of bacteria the same urine microscopy might see. One test, two possible findings.

Real tests, and free maths
9 of these 44 aren’t tests. They’re arithmetic on results you already paid for. No extra sample, no extra assay, no extra cost to the lab. Each one still adds a line to the advertised count.
This package is advertised as 50 tests. 20% of what we could resolve is calculated rather than measured.
Show the arithmetic›what each calculated value is worked out from
- Non-HDL Cholesterol= Total Cholesterol − HDL
- VLDL Cholesterol= Triglycerides ÷ 5
- Estimated Average Glucose= (28.7 × HbA1c) − 46.7
- Blood Urea Nitrogen= Blood Urea ÷ 2.14
- GFR Category= Banding of the eGFR value
- eGFR= CKD-EPI equation on creatinine, age and sex
- BUN / Creatinine Ratio= Blood Urea Nitrogen ÷ Creatinine
- A/G Ratio= Albumin ÷ Globulin
- Globulin= Total Protein − Albumin
None of this means a calculated value is useless. eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. The narrower point is the one that matters when you are comparing prices: these were not separately tested, so they should not be separately counted.
Every input above is itself on the same report. For example, Non-HDL Cholesterol needs nothing beyond Total Cholesterol and HDL Cholesterol, both already measured.
