What can I expect from Thyroid Function - Diagnosis and Monitoring?

This profile checks the function of your thyroid gland. 

Thyroid disorders are common but are notoriously difficult to diagnose without a blood test. 

It will give you a good indication as to whether your thyroid is functioning normally or not by checking your levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free T4 (FT4).  

These tests are mainly used to see whether or not you have an underactive thyroid gland (Hypothyroidism) or an overactive one (Hyperthyroidism) which can lead to tiredness, mood problems and weight issues.

Who should take a thyroid blood test and when?

This test is best taken if you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).

Signs of hypothyroidism can include tiredness, dry skin, thinning hair, weight gain, intolerance of cold, heavy periods, reduced fertility, memory loss, poor concentration and depression. 

Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include unexplained weight gain/loss, sweating, tremors, heat sensitivity and loss of libido. It is more likely to occur with age—particularly over the age of 60—and among women.

Hypothyroidism is much more likely to occur with older age with over 13% of women over 60 with it. It is also more commone among pregnant women. 

People with certain conditions are also much more likely to develop thyroid problems and should get tested regularly, this includes:

  • Type 1 Diabetics 
  • Addison’s disease
  • Coeliac Disease
  • If you are on certain medications e.g Lithium and Amiodarone

This test works well with a finger prick sample as well as with a phlebotomy sample

How do I read my results?

Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.

Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP.

For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.

If you see ‘invalid result’ on any of your report pages, it’s nothing to worry about. Please call our Customer Service team on 020 7183 3718 and if required we will be able to arrange another blood test appointment free of charge or post you a home testing kit which you can post back to our laboratory
