Bodywatch, a new range of home testing kits, has been launched by the Pathology Management Company (PMC). The range comprises five tests, which PMC says are designed to identify potential risks of disease. Three tests, for blood group identification, total and HDL cholesterol measurement and urinary tract infection, provide an instant result. The other tests, for osteoporosis risk and allergy identification, involve collection of a urine (osteoporosis) or blood (allergy) sample which is sent to PMC laboratories for analysis. PMC provides an advice line for patients to give information relating to test results. The tests cost between £6 and £30. PMC says it plans to introduce another two home testing kits in the coming months and to extend the range further next year (60 Wimpole Street, London W1M 7DE, tel 0207 486 7278, fax 0207 4867284).
