Thyroid Function Blood Test

🦋 Thyroid Function Blood Test at Prescriptions Pharmacy

Private Thyroid Blood Test in Prescot – £60

💉 This blood test checks key thyroid hormones to help assess how well your thyroid is functioning.

🧬 What Does This Test Check?

This panel includes:

🧪 TSH

🧪 Free T4

🧪 Free T3

👩‍⚕️ Who May This Test Be Suitable For?

This test may be suitable if you are experiencing symptoms such as:

😴 Tiredness or low energy

⚖️ Unexplained weight changes

🌡️ Feeling unusually cold or hot

💓 Palpitations or feeling shaky

💇 Hair thinning or dry skin

🧠 Brain fog, low mood or anxiety-type symptoms

📌 This test provides thyroid marker information only and does not diagnose thyroid disease on its own.

⚡ Why Are These Markers Important?

🦋 TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and helps regulate thyroid activity.

🧪 Free T4 is one of the main thyroid hormones circulating in the blood.

🔥 Free T3 is an active thyroid hormone involved in metabolism, energy and temperature regulation.

💡 Checking all three markers gives a broader picture than checking TSH alone.

🔍 How Is This Different from the Advanced Thyroid Function Test?

The Thyroid Function Blood Test checks the main thyroid function markers: TSH, Free T4 and Free T3.

The Advanced Thyroid Function Blood Test goes further by also checking thyroid antibodies, which may be useful when looking at autoimmune thyroid conditions.

💡 If you want a standard thyroid function check, this test may be suitable. If you want a more detailed thyroid profile including antibodies, consider the advanced test.
