What it measuresp. 05

In plain words

The thyroid gland in your neck makes hormones that help set the pace of the body. TSH is the signal from the brain that tells the thyroid how hard to work; free T4 and free T3 are the hormones themselves.

Doctors usually look at all three together, because the pattern between them matters more than any single number.

We run thyroid tests on an immunoassay analyser in batches each morning, which is why results take two working days.

Preparingp. 06

Before the test

Fasting

Not needed.

Biotin

Stop biotin supplements, often in hair and nail products, for two days before, as they can affect the result.

Thyroid medicine

If you take thyroid medicine, ask your doctor whether to take it before or after the sample.

Timing

A morning slot is best so repeat tests are comparable.

Reading the reportp. 07

What you will see

Your report lists each measurement with a reference range. A value outside the range is flagged H or L. A flag is not a diagnosis; ranges vary with age, sex, pregnancy and other factors, so please discuss results with your doctor.

When people ask for it

Doctors request a thyroid panel when reviewing symptoms such as tiredness or weight change, in pregnancy and to monitor treatment.

A doctor’s request is recommended so the result can be read with your history.

Is it safe in pregnancy?

The blood test itself is routine in pregnancy. Ranges differ in pregnancy, so tell us when booking.

Why two days?

Thyroid tests run in morning batches with their own quality controls.
