Thyroid Test
WHY TAKE THE TEST?
Are you suffering from symptoms such as low energy, unexplained weight gain or loss, changes in mood, dry skin, or muscle aches? If so, you may be suffering from a thyroid hormone imbalance.
WHAT CAN THE TEST HELP YOU WITH?
This test will help you understand whether your thyroid hormone levels may be impacting on your health and what you need to do next.
HOW DOES THE TEST WORK AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
The Thyroid Test is a simple finger prick blood test that is sent away to the laboratory to test for Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which are key thyroid markers. Being aware of your thyroid function – and whether you might have an underactive thyroid or an overactive thyroid – is the first step to making positive changes that can improve your overall health. It also makes it easy to track your thyroid hormone levels over time.
WHAT DO THE RESULTS SHOW?
The results are highlighted in a visual scale showing whether you have low, high or normal thyroid function and indicate whether follow up testing is required or a visit to your GP is recommended.
