About the Diabetes Kidney Screening South Kensington
Our Diabetes & Kidney Health Screening is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, 20 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington, London SW7 3DL. Our South Kensington clinic is a short walk from South Kensington Underground station, with flexible opening hours including weekends. This screening includes 3 biomarkers with results available in 2 working days, priced at £199 inclusive of blood draw by a registered nurse.
Diabetes affects approximately 4.3 million people in the UK, with an estimated 850,000 additional cases undetected, according to Diabetes UK. This screening measures HbA1c, which reflects average blood glucose levels over the preceding 8–12 weeks, and fasting glucose for current blood sugar assessment. These markers are used to identify diabetes and pre-diabetes (impaired glucose regulation), which the NHS estimates affects around 13.6 million people in England.
Kidney function is closely linked to metabolic health. This screening includes estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), creatinine, urea, and electrolytes to assess how well the kidneys are filtering waste. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects around 1 in 10 people in the UK, and early-stage kidney changes often present without symptoms. Routine testing can help identify changes in kidney function before they progress.
Our South Kensington clinic offers flexible opening hours: Monday and Wednesday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. We are a short walk from South Kensington Underground station (Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines). To book your Diabetes & Kidney Health Screening, call 020 7183 2362 or book online.

Protect Your Metabolic Health
Diabetes affects over 4 million people in the UK, with many more undiagnosed. Uncontrolled diabetes is a leading cause of kidney disease, heart disease, and vision loss. This screening detects diabetes and pre-diabetes early, and includes microalbumin testing which can detect kidney damage years before standard tests show problems.

Affordable and quick screening
Who Should Take This Test?
Those with Risk Factors
Family history of diabetes, overweight/obesity, sedentary lifestyle, or history of gestational diabetes all increase risk.
People Over 40
Type 2 diabetes risk increases with age. Regular screening is recommended from age 40, or earlier with risk factors.
Existing Diabetics
If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of HbA1c and microalbumin helps ensure good control and catches complications early.
Those with Symptoms
Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or blurred vision may indicate diabetes.
How to Prepare
Fast for 10–12 hours before your appointment
Avoid food and drinks other than water. This is necessary for accurate fasting glucose, lipid, and metabolic marker results.
Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Good hydration makes it easier for the registered nurse to draw your blood sample.
Bring a list of current medications
Some medications can affect biomarker levels. Knowing what you take helps our team interpret your results accurately.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours beforehand
Intense physical activity can temporarily affect certain blood markers including liver enzymes, muscle markers, and hormone levels.
