Spire Portsmouth Hospital has offered a wide range of private blood tests and investigations for many years. Our facilities offer patients high diagnostic standards of care in the Hampshire, West Sussex and Isle of Wight region and our consultants are all recognised experts in their field.
The lack of certain vitamins and iron in the blood can have significant health effects or simply make us feel tired or off-colour.
Tests for vitamin and mineral deficiency include:
- Calcium
- Iron
- Zinc
- Magnesium
- Folate (folic acid)
- All vitamin B types including vitamin B12
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin C
Once diagnosed a vitamin or mineral deficiency can be remedied through the use of supplements.
Vitamin or mineral tests are conducted by taking a small blood sample for analysis in our laboratories.
