A crucial tool for diagnosing and managing thyroid disorders

If you have been experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain or loss, irregular periods, and anxiety, it is important to understand that an underactive or overactive thyroid gland may cause these symptoms. A thyroid health test is an easy and effective way to check your thyroid hormones and determine if your symptoms are due to a thyroid disorder.

What it includes

  • A comprehensive blood test conducted by a healthcare professional at our clinic.
  • Doctor-reviewed results with written advice provided.
  • Optional results consultation with a doctor is available at a discounted rate.
  • Please scroll down the page for a complete list of biomarkers included in the test.

Why take a thyroid health test?

  1. The test measures several biomarker levels, indicating whether the thyroid gland functions correctly.
  2. Early treatment can prevent serious health complications such as heart disease, osteoporosis, or impaired fertility if a thyroid disorder is detected.

Age restriction on blood tests

We're unable to offer blood tests for those under the age of 18 unless it is part of a routine GP appointment and the clinician believes it suitable.

Our thyroid health blood test measures the following biomarkers:

  • Triiodothyronine (FT3) is a thyroid hormone that regulates your body's energy. This test ensures that your body is processing your free thyroxine (T4) properly.
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): A hormone that regulates the release of hormones from your thyroid. This test can check for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
  • Free thyroxine (FT4): The main hormone produced by your thyroid that regulates the energy your body uses. Free T4 measures the amount of T4 that's available for your body to use. This test can help check for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
  • Ant-Tg test detects and measures the presence of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. It helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases and predict future thyroid dysfunction.
  • The Anti-TPO test measures the level of antibodies against thyroid peroxidase enzyme. It helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases and predict future thyroid dysfunction.
