Overview

The Homocysteine Test is a specialised blood screening designed to measure levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood that, when elevated, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other vascular conditions. This test helps identify potential deficiencies in vitamins B6, B9 (folate), and B12, as well as genetic factors or lifestyle influences that may contribute to high homocysteine levels. Early detection of elevated homocysteine can guide interventions like dietary changes, supplementation, or medication to reduce cardiovascular risk and support overall metabolic health.

First Class Service
Friendly and helpful staff. Arranged an appointment for the next day at home. Joanne arrived for my appointment to take the required blood tests and delivered them to my local hospital within 35 minutes. I cannot recommend Swift Blood Tests highly enough.

 

Anne

I can’t praise this company enough! Jo arrived on time and was so lovely, easy to talk to and efficient. The whole process from booking the appointment ( and getting one for the following day) to receiving a text that the bloods had arrived at the hospital was really impressive. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use this service again-

This is an amazing service which I heard about through a recommendation and I will 100% be recommending to friends. I booked in late one even and Joanne came early the next morning. I work in London so this was perfect to work around unusual business hours. Joanne was so efficient and friendly. Thank you!

Organised a visit for my disabled elderly mother. Trying to get a local appointment through the NHS swift queue system would have meant several weeks wait. This service was booked online within minutes and the service was prompt, efficient and very professionally carried out by a friendly nurse
