Beyond BMI. Beyond basic cholesterol.

Weight management is rarely just about diet and exercise. Central weight gain, fatigue, difficulty losing weight, abnormal cholesterol, fatty liver, insulin resistance and thyroid dysfunction can overlap in complex ways.


The Obesity Health Check-Up – Gold Package at London Private Ultrasound is designed to provide structured metabolic clarity. It combines abdominal organ imaging, a 30+ biomarker blood profile and GP-led interpretation so you receive more than isolated test results — you receive a clear medical strategy.

At a glance

What your Gold Package includes

A premium metabolic screening pathway focused on abdominal organ health, lipid balance, glucose control, inflammation, thyroid function, kidney function and stress-related hormonal patterns.

Abdominal ultrasound

Consultant-led assessment of liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas and spleen where visible, with particular attention to fatty liver and metabolic organ stress.

30+ biomarkers

Advanced blood profile covering lipids, glucose, HbA1c, liver function, kidney function, inflammation, thyroid, iron, bone and electrolyte markers.

GP strategy review

A dedicated medical consultation to connect your scan, blood results, symptoms and metabolic risk factors into an actionable plan.

Four diagnostic pillars

A complete metabolic health assessment framework

1

Organ imaging

Ultrasound helps assess abdominal organ structure and visible signs linked with metabolic dysfunction.

  • Fatty liver assessment
  • Gallbladder review
  • Kidney structure
  • Pancreas and spleen where visible
2

Lipid and glucose control

Blood markers assess cholesterol balance, triglycerides, glucose control and long-term diabetes risk.

  • Total cholesterol
  • HDL, LDL and non-HDL
  • Triglycerides
  • Glucose and HbA1c
3

Hormonal contributors

Thyroid and cortisol testing help investigate common hormonal patterns that may contribute to fatigue, central adiposity or difficulty losing weight.

  • TSH
  • Free T4
  • Morning cortisol
  • Stress-related metabolic review
4

Medical strategy

Your GP consultation translates the results into a practical plan, including onward referral where needed.

  • Risk interpretation
  • Lifestyle and medical guidance
  • Referral planning
  • Follow-up recommendations

Designed for people who want metabolic clarity, not generic wellness results

This package is suitable for people concerned about central obesity, fatigue, abnormal cholesterol, suspected fatty liver, thyroid dysfunction, metabolic resistance, insulin resistance or unexplained difficulty losing weight.

Immediate verbal scan feedback
Advanced blood profile included
Thyroid and cortisol testing
GP-led action plan
Phase I

Consultant abdominal ultrasound assessment

Your scan focuses on abdominal organs commonly affected by metabolic dysfunction, central weight gain, fatty liver risk and rapid weight fluctuation.

Liver and fatty liver assessment

Ultrasound assessment of liver size, texture and visible fat accumulation, supporting investigation of hepatic steatosis and metabolic liver stress.

  • Fatty liver screening
  • Liver size and texture
  • Focal visible liver findings
  • Correlation with liver blood markers

Gallbladder assessment

Gallbladder review for sludge, stones, inflammation-related changes or obstruction patterns, which can be relevant in weight change and metabolic imbalance.

  • Gallstones
  • Sludge
  • Bile duct concerns where visible
  • Post-weight-change symptoms

Kidney and renal system review

Structural assessment of both kidneys to look for cysts, stones, obstruction, hydronephrosis or other findings that may require follow-up.

  • Kidney size and structure
  • Cysts or stones
  • Obstruction or hydronephrosis
  • Correlation with urea, creatinine and eGFR

Pancreas and spleen where visible

Assessment of the pancreas and spleen where technically visible by ultrasound, helping identify enlargement, visible focal abnormalities or inflammatory patterns requiring further imaging.

  • Pancreas where visible
  • Spleen size
  • Upper abdominal structural review
  • Further CT/MRI referral if needed

Important: Ultrasound is a valuable first-line imaging tool, but visibility can be limited by bowel gas, body habitus or overlying structures. If findings are unclear, limited or suspicious, further imaging such as CT, MRI or specialist review may be recommended.
Phase II

30+ biomarker metabolic and lipid profile

The blood profile is designed to assess lipid balance, glucose control, inflammation, liver function, kidney function, thyroid function, adrenal stress patterns, iron and bone-related markers.

Category Included markers Why it matters
Metabolic and lipid control Glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, calculated LDL and non-HDL Assesses cholesterol balance, long-term glucose control, diabetes risk and cardiovascular metabolic risk.
Liver function ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, globulin and total protein Supports assessment of liver stress, fatty liver correlation and general hepatic function.
Kidney function Urea, creatinine, eGFR and electrolytes Provides kidney function context and supports interpretation of ultrasound findings.
Haematology and inflammation Full blood count and ESR Helps assess anaemia, blood cell patterns and inflammatory activity.
Bone and iron status Calcium, phosphate, uric acid, magnesium, iron, TIBC and ferritin Reviews mineral balance, iron stores and metabolic markers that may relate to fatigue or inflammation.
Thyroid function TSH and Free T4 Assesses whether thyroid dysfunction may be contributing to fatigue, weight gain or metabolic symptoms.
Adrenal and stress assessment Morning cortisol blood test Explores whether cortisol-related patterns may be contributing to central adiposity, fatigue or metabolic imbalance.
Phase III

Dedicated GP medical strategy consultation

The GP review connects your ultrasound findings, blood results, symptoms and personal risk factors into one medically guided action plan.

Clinical context

Your GP reviews weight history, central adiposity, fatigue, medications, family history, diet pattern, exercise barriers and previous results.

Result interpretation

Your scan and blood results are explained together, including fatty liver risk, lipid imbalance, thyroid function, cortisol and inflammation.

Action plan

You receive guidance on monitoring, lifestyle priorities, GP follow-up, specialist referral, nutrition support or further imaging where clinically indicated.

Your pathway

From metabolic concern to clear next steps

1

Book directly

No GP referral is required. Bring any previous cholesterol, HbA1c, liver function, thyroid, ultrasound or GP results if available.

2

Attend your abdominal ultrasound

Your ultrasound consultant performs the scan and explains key findings during the appointment. A written ultrasound report is provided after the scan.

3

Complete your blood profile

Your blood sample is taken for the advanced metabolic, lipid, liver, kidney, thyroid, inflammation, iron, bone and cortisol profile.

4

Review results with the GP

Once your blood profile is available, your GP strategy consultation reviews your results and explains what they mean in clinical context.

5

Receive your action plan

You leave with a structured plan, which may include monitoring, lifestyle priorities, GP follow-up, endocrinology referral, hepatology review, cardiology risk assessment, nutrition support or further imaging.

Who is this for?

Suitable for people with weight, lipid or metabolic concerns

1

Central weight gain

For people with abdominal weight gain, difficulty losing weight, weight regain or concern about visceral fat and fatty liver risk.

2

Abnormal cholesterol or triglycerides

For people with raised cholesterol, high triglycerides, low HDL, raised LDL or family history of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

Will this tell me why I cannot lose weight?
The package can identify several medical contributors to weight difficulty, such as lipid imbalance, fatty liver, thyroid dysfunction, glucose dysregulation, inflammation or cortisol-related patterns. However, weight is multifactorial, and further specialist review may be needed depending on your results.
