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.
Nothing is listed twice. Every line in this package names a different test.

1Real tests, and free maths
4 of these 12 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 11 tests. 33% 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
- GFR Category= Banding of the eGFR value
- eGFR= CKD-EPI equation on creatinine, age and sex
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.
