Diagnostic Medicine

Expert-Led Testing, Interpretation & Personalised Clinical Insight

Sometimes, getting to the root of a health concern isn’t as simple as a consultation or examination alone. That’s where diagnostic medicine plays a vital role.

At The Metabolic Clinic, we provide a thoughtful, medically guided approach to biochemical and hormone testing, ensuring that investigations are relevant, accurate, and clinically appropriate.

Targeted Blood Testing & Analysis

Rather than offering generic test panels, we select investigations based on your personal history, symptoms, and medical background—following a consultation with Professor Dev Datta.
Common areas of diagnostic focus include:

  • Vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D
  • Hormone profiles, including thyroid and adrenal hormones
  • Cholesterol and lipid testing
  • Electrolyte and mineral balance (e.g. calcium, sodium)

Every patient receives a written report explaining their results in plain language, along with appropriate medical interpretation and next steps if needed.

No Unnecessary Testing

We do not recommend blood tests without medical review. Ordering tests without proper clinical context often leads to:

  • Unnecessary anxiety
  • Misinterpretation of results
  • Inappropriate or unsafe treatment

At The Metabolic Clinic, all testing is carried out only after review by Professor Datta, ensuring investigations are meaningful and actionable. All blood tests are performed in UKAS-accredited laboratories, including Spire Healthcare Laboratories, to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. Not all private providers meet this standard—we do not recommend using non-accredited labs.
