Blood Group Test
£99
Your blood group is determined by specific proteins found on the surface of your red blood cells. These proteins classify your blood type as A, B, AB or O.
This test also identifies your Rhesus (Rh) status, which confirms whether the Rh factor protein is present on your red blood cells. Results will show your blood type as either Rh positive or Rh negative.
Knowing your blood group is important for medical treatment, blood transfusions, pregnancy care, and certain travel or employment requirements.
Cholesterol Test
£49
Cholesterol Test
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
This cholesterol blood test helps assess your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Elevated cholesterol levels can contribute to the build-up of fatty deposits within the arteries. Over time, this can cause arteries to narrow or become blocked, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
Identifying high cholesterol early allows you to make informed lifestyle and dietary changes to help lower your cardiovascular risk. Monitoring your cholesterol levels can play an important role in protecting your long-term heart health and supporting a longer, healthier life.

Diabetes Test (HbA1c)
£49
HbA1c Test
Diabetes Screening and Monitoring
A raised HbA1c level is used in the diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes.
Unlike a standard blood glucose test, which measures your blood sugar at a single moment in time, the HbA1c testreflects your average blood glucose levels over the previous two to three months. This provides a more reliable indication of long-term blood sugar control.
This is an important screening test, as many individuals may have undiagnosed diabetes without experiencing obvious symptoms. Early detection allows for timely intervention and lifestyle changes, reducing the risk of long-term complications.
Unmanaged or untreated diabetes remains a significant contributor to serious health complications and mortality. Identifying elevated HbA1c levels early can be a crucial step in protecting your long-term health.
Erectile Dysfunction Test
£159

Total & Free Testosterone Assessment
The Testosterone Plus Profile measures:
Total Testosterone
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Albumin
Using these markers, a Free Testosterone calculation is performed to estimate the amount of biologically available (active) testosterone in the blood.
Measuring Total Testosterone alone does not always provide a complete picture. Assessing SHBG and Albumin allows for a more accurate evaluation of free (available) testosterone levels.
Why Test Testosterone?
This profile is commonly used to investigate and monitor conditions associated with testosterone imbalance.
In Men
Testing may support the assessment of:
Hypogonadism (low testosterone)
Reduced libido
Fatigue
Muscle weakness
Erectile dysfunction
Male infertility
It is also used to monitor individuals receiving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
In Adolescents
Testosterone testing may help evaluate delayed or early puberty.
In Women
Testosterone levels may be assessed in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other hormonal disorders.
Monitoring & Supplement Use
Anyone using testosterone supplementation should have levels checked regularly. Both low and excessively high testosterone levels can have health consequences.
The only reliable way to assess testosterone status is through a blood test.
When Should This Test Be Taken?
Testosterone levels follow a daily rhythm and are highest in the morning.
For the most accurate result, blood samples should be taken between 7:00am and 10:00am.

Glucose Test
£59
Glucose Test
Blood Sugar Level Assessment
A glucose test measures the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Blood glucose plays a central role in energy production and overall metabolic health.
This test is commonly used to assess and monitor diabetes, but it can also provide important information about other conditions affecting blood sugar regulation.
Why You Might Need a Glucose Test
Diabetes Diagnosis and Monitoring
A blood glucose test helps diagnose diabetes and is used to monitor blood sugar levels in individuals with established diabetes.
Hypoglycaemia (Low Blood Sugar)
The test can identify hypoglycaemia, which may cause symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, sweating, or fainting.
Hyperglycaemia (High Blood Sugar)
Elevated glucose levels may indicate hyperglycaemia, which can occur in uncontrolled diabetes or other medical conditions.
Gestational Diabetes
During pregnancy, glucose testing may be performed to screen for gestational diabetes, a temporary form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy.
Monitoring Treatment Effectiveness
Individuals undergoing treatment for diabetes may require regular glucose testing to assess how well their management plan is working and to guide adjustments where necessary.
Preoperative Assessment
A glucose test may be carried out before surgery to ensure blood sugar levels are within a safe range.
Routine Screening
Glucose testing is often included in general health screenings to help identify prediabetes or undiagnosed diabetes at an early stage.
Hepatitis B Immunity Quantitative Test
£55
Hepatitis B Immunity Test
Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (Anti-HBs) Test
This blood test measures your level of immunity to the Hepatitis B virus by detecting the presence of Hepatitis B surface antibodies (anti-HBs) in your blood.
The presence of these antibodies indicates whether you have developed immunity following Hepatitis B vaccination or previous exposure to the virus.
This test may be used to:
Confirm immunity after completing a Hepatitis B vaccination course
Determine whether further vaccination or booster doses are required
Support the assessment of Hepatitis B infection status when interpreted alongside other Hepatitis B markers
The Hepatitis B immunity test is commonly requested for healthcare professionals, students, employment screening, and travel purposes where proof of immunity may be required.
Hepatitis B Profile Test
£139
Hepatitis B Profile
Comprehensive Hepatitis B Screening & Immunity Assessment
The Hepatitis B Profile is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates exposure to and immunity against the Hepatitis B virus.
This profile includes:
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (anti-HBs)
Hepatitis B Core Antibody (anti-HBc)
Together, these markers provide a clearer understanding of infection status, past exposure, and immunity.
Why You Might Need a Hepatitis B Profile
Screening
This test is commonly used to screen individuals at increased risk of Hepatitis B infection, including healthcare workers, pregnant women, and individuals with potential exposure risks such as intravenous drug use or unprotected sexual contact.
Diagnosis
The presence of HBsAg and Hepatitis B antibodies helps identify whether an infection is acute or chronic when interpreted in the appropriate clinical context.
Monitoring Infection
For individuals diagnosed with Hepatitis B, this profile can support monitoring of infection status and treatment response. Changes in HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, and where relevant, HBeAg, can provide valuable information about disease activity.
Vaccination Status
The test can confirm whether immunity has developed following Hepatitis B vaccination, or whether further vaccination or booster doses may be required.
Liver Health Assessment
Because Hepatitis B infection can affect the liver, results are often interpreted alongside liver function tests to help assess potential liver involvement.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Test
£59
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
Hepatitis B Infection Screening
The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) test detects the presence of a specific protein found on the surface of the Hepatitis B virus.
If this antigen is present in the blood, it indicates an active Hepatitis B infection. This may represent either a recent (acute) infection or a longer-term (chronic) infection, depending on clinical context and additional testing.
The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen test is commonly used for:
Screening for Hepatitis B infection
Occupational or employment health checks
Travel or visa requirements
Pre-treatment or pre-operative assessment
Results are interpreted alongside other Hepatitis B markers where necessary to provide a clearer picture of infection status.
HIV I & II Antibody & p24 Antigen Test
£59
HIV 1 & 2 Antibody / p24 Antigen Test
Fourth-Generation HIV Screening
This blood test detects antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2, as well as the p24 antigen, a protein produced by the HIV virus during the early stages of infection.
By testing for both antibodies and the p24 antigen, this fourth-generation HIV test allows for earlier detection compared to antibody-only tests.
Who Is This Test For?
An HIV test may be recommended if:
You believe you may have been exposed to HIV
You have had unprotected sexual contact
You have shared injecting equipment
You are undergoing routine sexual health screening
You require screening for employment, visa, or medical purposes
This test is commonly used as a screening tool because it can detect infection within a few weeks to a few months after exposure, depending on individual immune response and timing.
Why Early Detection Matters
Early diagnosis of HIV infection is important for:
Accessing timely medical treatment
Monitoring immune health
Reducing the risk of transmission to others
If results are positive or require further clarification, appropriate follow-up testing and referral pathways will be discussed confidentially.
Kidney and Liver Function Test
£69
Kidney and Liver Function Test
Comprehensive Organ Function Assessment
The Kidney and Liver Function Test combines liver function tests (LFTs) and kidney function markers to assess how well two of the body’s most important organs are working.
Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
Liver function tests are a group of blood tests used to evaluate how effectively your liver is performing its essential roles. The liver supports digestion, filters toxins from the bloodstream, processes nutrients, and stores energy.
These tests measure levels of specific enzymes, proteins, and other substances in the blood. Abnormal results may indicate liver inflammation, liver damage, bile flow problems, or other liver disorders.
Liver function testing may be used to:
Diagnose liver disease
Monitor existing liver conditions
Assess potential side effects of medications
Support routine health screening
Kidney Function Assessment
The kidney component measures key markers including creatinine, urea (blood urea nitrogen), and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR).
These parameters evaluate how efficiently the kidneys are filtering waste products from the blood and maintaining fluid balance.
Kidney testing may be performed to:
Monitor kidney health
Diagnose kidney disease such as chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Male Hormone Profile Test
£139
Male Hormone Profile
Comprehensive Men’s Testosterone & Hormone Assessment
The Male Hormone Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to evaluate the key hormones that influence every aspect of male health and wellbeing.
Hormonal balance plays a central role in:
Energy levels
Muscle mass and strength
Bone health
Libido and erectile function
Mood and concentration
Fat distribution
Sperm production
From around the age of 30, testosterone levels and other essential hormones gradually decline, with a more accelerated reduction often seen later in life, particularly from the age of 60.
While optimal hormone levels are widely discussed, effective decision-making always begins with accurate testing and monitoring.
Understanding Male Hormones
Although these hormones are present in both men and women, they exist in very different concentrations and serve different physiological roles in males.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It influences bone density, muscle mass, fat distribution, red blood cell production, libido, and sperm production.
A portion of testosterone is converted into oestradiol (E2), which remains essential in men for libido, erectile function, and reproductive health.
Prolactin plays an important role in regulating testosterone production.
Luteinising Hormone (LH) stimulates the testes to produce testosterone, while Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)supports sperm production.
DHEA-Sulphate (DHEAS) acts as a precursor hormone involved in the production of testosterone and oestradiol.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) regulates how much testosterone is biologically available to body tissues.
The balance and interaction between these hormones significantly influence both physical and mental health in men.

Menopause Hormone Profile Test
£89
Menopause Hormone Profile
Menopause & Perimenopause Hormone Assessment
The Menopause Hormone Profile measures key hormones involved in identifying menopause and perimenopause.
This blood test evaluates:
Oestradiol (E2)
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
Testosterone
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Together, these markers help determine whether hormonal patterns are consistent with menopause.
Why Is This Test Important?
Menopause is a natural stage of life, most commonly occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, the ovaries gradually stop releasing eggs and levels of hormones, particularly oestradiol, decline.
It is the reduction in oestradiol that is responsible for many common menopause symptoms.
Because thyroid disorders can produce symptoms similar to menopause, this profile also includes TSH to help differentiate between thyroid-related issues and hormonal changes associated with menopause.
Common Symptoms of Menopause
Hormonal changes may contribute to symptoms such as:
Hot flushes and temperature sensitivity
Mood changes, anxiety, or low mood
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Sleep disturbance and night sweats
Palpitations
Headaches or worsening migraines
Muscle and joint aches
Weight changes and altered body composition
Dry or itchy skin
Reduced libido
Vaginal dryness, discomfort, or pain during intercourse
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Gum sensitivity or oral discomfort
Irregular or heavier periods before stopping completely
Treatment Considerations
For many women, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can significantly improve symptoms. Blood testing can provide useful information to support discussions around appropriate management options.

Oestradiol (E2) Test
£55
Oestradiol (E2) Test
Oestrogen Level Assessment
The Oestradiol test measures the level of oestradiol (E2) in the blood. Oestradiol is the primary and most biologically active form of oestrogen.
This hormone plays a key role in reproductive health, hormonal balance, and overall wellbeing in both women and men.
In Women
An oestradiol blood test may be used to:
Investigate menstrual irregularities
Support the assessment of infertility
Evaluate ovarian function
Help determine menopausal status
Monitor response to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Abnormal oestradiol levels may also contribute to the investigation of certain hormone-sensitive conditions, including some types of breast and ovarian cancer, when interpreted alongside other clinical findings.
In Men
In males, oestradiol testing may support the evaluation of:
Gynecomastia
Hypogonadism
Hormonal imbalance
Although present at lower levels than in females, oestradiol remains important for bone health, libido, and hormonal regulation in men.
Pregnancy Test – Beta hCG (Quantitative)
£69
Pregnancy Test – Beta hCG (Quantitative)
Early Pregnancy Blood Test
The Beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test is a highly accurate blood test used to confirm pregnancy at the earliest possible stage.
Beta hCG is a hormone produced shortly after implantation. Measuring its level in the blood can detect pregnancy earlier than many urine-based tests.
Why Choose a Quantitative Beta hCG Test?
This is a quantitative pregnancy test, meaning it measures the exact level of beta hCG in your blood rather than simply giving a positive or negative result.
In early pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically rise steadily during the first trimester before stabilising later in pregnancy. Monitoring this rise can provide reassurance during the early weeks.
If beta hCG levels stop rising appropriately in the first 10 weeks, further medical assessment may be required, as this can sometimes indicate a concern with pregnancy progression.
Estimating Pregnancy Stage
Because this test provides a numerical result, it can offer a general indication of gestational age. However, beta hCG levels vary widely between individuals, and the “normal” range is broad. For this reason, results should not be used alone to precisely determine pregnancy age.
Important Information
In rare cases, elevated beta hCG levels may be associated with certain medical conditions, including some types of cancer. If results are unexpected or unclear, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended.
Premier General Health Profile Test
£109

Progesterone Test
£55
Progesterone Test
Ovulation & Hormonal Assessment
The Progesterone test measures progesterone levels in the blood to confirm whether ovulation has occurred and to assess hormonal balance.
Progesterone rises significantly during the second half of the menstrual cycle (the luteal phase) following successful ovulation.
When Should This Test Be Taken?
If you have regular menstrual cycles, the test is usually performed around day 21 of your cycle (approximately 21 days after the first day of your last period).
If your cycles are irregular, testing is recommended approximately 7 days before your expected next period.
Timing is important to ensure accurate interpretation.
Confirming Ovulation
A progesterone level between 30–65.5 nmol/L is generally consistent with ovulation having occurred.
Other Reasons for Progesterone Testing
In addition to confirming ovulation, progesterone testing may be used to:
Investigate fertility concerns
Monitor progesterone levels in early pregnancy
Assess potential risk of miscarriage
Support the evaluation of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
Results should always be interpreted in the context of your menstrual cycle and clinical history.
Prolactin Test
£49
Prolactin Test
Pituitary & Reproductive Hormone Assessment
The Prolactin test measures the level of prolactin in the blood. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary glandand plays an important role in lactation and reproductive health.
Abnormal prolactin levels can affect both men and women, and testing may be recommended depending on symptoms or clinical concerns.
In Women
Prolactin testing may be indicated in cases of:
Menstrual irregularities, including amenorrhoea (absence of periods) or oligomenorrhoea (infrequent periods)
Infertility
Recurrent miscarriage
Lactation difficulties, such as insufficient milk production
Galactorrhoea (unexpected breast milk production outside of pregnancy or breastfeeding)
Suspected pituitary tumours, including prolactinoma
Elevated prolactin levels can interfere with normal ovulation and reproductive hormone balance.
In Men
In males, prolactin testing may support the evaluation of:
Hypogonadism (underactive testes or low testosterone levels)
Symptoms associated with low testosterone
Suspected pituitary tumours, including prolactinoma
High prolactin levels can suppress testosterone production and contribute to hormonal imbalance.
Results should be interpreted alongside other hormone tests and clinical findings to determine whether further investigation is required.
Prostate Profile Test
£89
Prostate Profile Test
Total & Free PSA Assessment
The Prostate Profile (Total & Free PSA) is a blood test that measures levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by the prostate gland.
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men. PSA is naturally present in the blood in small amounts, but elevated levels may indicate prostate-related conditions.
What Does This Test Measure?
This profile includes:
Total PSA – the overall level of PSA in the blood
Free PSA – the proportion of PSA not bound to proteins
Free: Total PSA Ratio – used to help assess prostate cancer risk
Comparing total and free PSA levels can provide additional information when evaluating the likelihood of prostate cancer.
Why Is This Test Performed?
The PSA test is commonly used to:
Support early detection of prostate cancer
Monitor individuals with known prostate cancer
Investigate prostate-related symptoms
Track changes in PSA levels over time
It is often recommended for:
Men over the age of 50
Men with a family history of prostate cancer
Individuals undergoing routine health screening
Important Considerations
PSA levels can be temporarily elevated due to:
Recent ejaculation
Benign prostatic enlargement (BPH)
Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate)
To reduce the risk of a falsely elevated result, you should avoid ejaculation for 48 hours before testing.
It is important to understand that the PSA test is not a definitive diagnostic test for prostate cancer. Some men with raised PSA levels do not have cancer, while others with prostate cancer may have normal PSA levels.
PSA testing is best used as a monitoring and risk assessment tool, particularly when results are compared over time.
When to Seek Medical Advice
A PSA test and medical review are recommended if you experience symptoms such as:
Frequent urge to urinate
Waking multiple times at night to urinate
Blood in urine or semen
Pain or burning during urination
Painful ejaculation
Persistent pain in the lower back, hips, pelvis, or upper thighs
Dribbling of urine

Prostate Specific Antigen (Total) Test
£49
Free Prostate Specific Antigen (Free PSA) Test
Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment Marker
The Free Prostate Specific Antigen (Free PSA) test measures the level of unbound PSA circulating in the blood.
PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. While small amounts are normally present in the bloodstream, elevated levels may be associated with prostate conditions.
Free PSA refers specifically to the portion of PSA that is not attached to blood proteins. It is often assessed alongside Total PSA to help provide additional information when evaluating prostate cancer risk.
Why Is Free PSA Measured?
An elevated PSA level can occur in several conditions, including:
Prostate cancer
Benign prostatic enlargement (BPH)
Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate)
Measuring Free PSA and comparing it to Total PSA can help refine risk assessment. In certain contexts, lower percentages of free PSA may be associated with a higher likelihood of prostate cancer. However, further investigations, such as imaging or biopsy, are usually required for a definitive diagnosis.
Important Considerations
The Free PSA test should always be interpreted in conjunction with:
Total PSA levels
Age
Family history of prostate cancer
Previous PSA trends
Clinical examination findings
PSA levels may also be temporarily elevated due to recent ejaculation, prostate procedures, urinary infection, or inflammation. These factors should be considered when interpreting results.
The Free PSA test is a risk assessment tool and is not diagnostic on its own.

Syphilis TP (IgG/IgM) Test
£69
Syphilis IgG/IgM Test
Syphilis Antibody Blood Test
The Syphilis IgG/IgM test detects antibodies in the blood directed against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium responsible for syphilis.
This blood test identifies both:
IgM antibodies, which may indicate a recent or active infection
IgG antibodies, which can indicate current or past exposure
By measuring these antibodies, the test helps support the diagnosis of syphilis infection.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that may not always cause obvious symptoms, particularly in the early stages. Blood testing is therefore an important screening tool for individuals who may have been exposed or who are undergoing routine sexual health screening.
If results are positive or require confirmation, further testing and appropriate follow-up will be recommended.
Testosterone Plus Profile Test
£59
Testosterone Plus Profile
Total & Free Testosterone Assessment
The Testosterone Plus Profile measures:
Total Testosterone
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Albumin
Using these markers, a Free Testosterone calculation is performed to estimate the amount of biologically available (active) testosterone in the blood.
Measuring Total Testosterone alone does not always provide a complete picture. Assessing SHBG and Albumin allows for a more accurate evaluation of free (available) testosterone levels.
Why Test Testosterone?
This profile is commonly used to investigate and monitor conditions associated with testosterone imbalance.
In Men
Testing may support the assessment of:
Hypogonadism (low testosterone)
Reduced libido
Fatigue
Muscle weakness
Erectile dysfunction
Male infertility
It is also used to monitor individuals receiving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
In Adolescents
Testosterone testing may help evaluate delayed or early puberty.
In Women
Testosterone levels may be assessed in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other hormonal disorders.
Monitoring & Supplement Use
Anyone using testosterone supplementation should have levels checked regularly. Both low and excessively high testosterone levels can have health consequences.
The only reliable way to assess testosterone status is through a blood test.
When Should This Test Be Taken?
Testosterone levels follow a daily rhythm and are highest in the morning.
For the most accurate result, blood samples should be taken between 7:00am and 10:00am.

Diagnosis & Monitoring of Thyroid Disorders
This Thyroid Function Test evaluates how well your thyroid gland is working by measuring:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Free T4 (Thyroxine)
The thyroid is responsible for regulating metabolism, energy production, temperature control, and many other essential bodily processes.
Thyroid disorders are common and often difficult to diagnose based on symptoms alone. Blood testing is the most reliable way to assess thyroid function.
What Does This Test Detect?
This profile helps determine whether you may have:
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
Both conditions can significantly affect energy levels, mood, and weight regulation.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)
Persistent tiredness
Dry skin
Thinning hair
Weight gain
Cold intolerance
Heavy menstrual periods
Reduced fertility
Memory problems
Poor concentration
Low mood or depression
Hypothyroidism becomes more common with age and affects a significant proportion of women over 60. It is also more frequently seen during pregnancy.
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)
Unexplained weight changes
Sweating
Tremors
Heat sensitivity
Palpitations
Reduced libido
Hyperthyroidism is more likely to occur with increasing age and is more common in women.
Who Should Consider Testing?
Thyroid testing is recommended if you:
Have symptoms suggestive of thyroid dysfunction
Have Type 1 Diabetes
Have Addison’s disease
Have Coeliac disease
Are taking medications such as Lithium or Amiodarone

Thyroid Profile 3
Comprehensive Thyroid Hormone Assessment (TSH, Free T4 & Free T3)
The Thyroid Profile 3 is a detailed thyroid blood test that evaluates three key hormones involved in regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance.
The thyroid gland, located at the front of the neck, produces hormones that influence nearly every system in the body. Even small imbalances can affect energy levels, mood, weight, and cognitive function.
What Does Thyroid Profile 3 Measure?
This profile includes:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Free T4 (Thyroxine)
Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)
TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and signals the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones.
Free T4 represents the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
Free T3 is the active form of thyroid hormone and reflects how effectively T4 is being converted into its usable form within the body.
Including Free T3 provides additional insight beyond basic thyroid screening.
When Is Thyroid Profile 3 Recommended?
This test may be appropriate if you experience symptoms such as:
Persistent fatigue
Unexplained weight changes
Hair thinning or hair loss
Mood fluctuations
Poor concentration
Temperature sensitivity
It helps assess whether your thyroid is:
Underactive (Hypothyroidism)
Overactive (Hyperthyroidism)
How Is This Different from Other Thyroid Tests?
More detailed than a basic thyroid function test (which typically measures TSH and Free T4 only)
Does not include thyroid antibody testing for autoimmune conditions
If autoimmune thyroid disease is suspected, a Full Thyroid Profile with antibodies may be more appropriate.
