About this test

Our Thyroid Premium Bronze profile includes the classically tested components of thyroid function, essential for both diagnosis of thyroid disorders and for monitoring of any treatment regimes -Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) and Free Thyroxine (FT4). But the Blue Horizon laboratory team have gone a little bit further than our rivals with this one - for no extra charge Serum Cortisol and Serum Magnesium are included in this profile. It is widely reported that high cortisol levels can affect thyroid function, and vice versa. Magnesium has a particularly important role in the conversion of FT4 to FT3. A better view of the whole picture is thus possible even with this entry level profile.

Is this blood test right for you?

Do you want to find out more about your thyroid health? Do you have symptoms affecting your mood, energy levels, skin and hair quality? Do you feel you are suffering from extreme anxiety or are under considerable stress? Is your heart racing? Are you gaining weight? Do you need to monitor your treatment regime? If you're looking for a essential thyroid check this is the profile for you but for even more detail you may of course opt for the Thyroid Premium Silver profile which contains all the Bronze components as well as Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO antibodies) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TG antibodies).

Blood will need to be taken between 8am and 10am for a more reliable or useful measurement of Cortisol in particular.

This test is available as a either a finger prick or a vacutainer sample collection option. You can also choose to visit a Circle Hospital or Superdrug venue, or have a Nurse Home Visit. Select option at checkout.
