Hormone & Thyroid Blood Panel

Specialist hormone and thyroid blood testing including TSH, free T3/T4, adrenal hormones, and comprehensive endocrine panels. Diagnoses thyroid disorders, adrenal conditions, and hormonal imbalances.

As a specialist endocrinology clinic, Arden Endocrinology provides comprehensive hormone and thyroid blood testing to investigate a wide range of hormonal conditions. Testing is interpreted by consultant endocrinologists who can link laboratory findings directly to clinical management. Thyroid function testing is among the most commonly requested panels and includes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), and free triiodothyronine (fT3). These markers allow the diagnosis of hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, subclinical thyroid dysfunction, and autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease). Thyroid antibody testing (anti-TPO, anti-TG) can be added when autoimmune aetiology is suspected. For patients presenting with fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbances, or reproductive concerns, broader endocrine panels can be arranged. These may include cortisol and ACTH measurements to assess adrenal function, sex hormone panels (LH, FSH, testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG, prolactin) relevant to fertility, PCOS, or menopause, and growth hormone-related testing. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium panels are available for patients with bone metabolism issues, particularly when DEXA results suggest secondary causes of bone loss. Vitamin D (25-OH) levels are routinely assessed in patients with metabolic bone disease. All hormone panels are interpreted within a clinical context by specialist endocrinologists. The clinic's multidisciplinary approach — combining endocrinologists, dietitians, and nurses — ensures that results translate into actionable management plans, whether that involves medication, dietary change, or further investigations such as thyroid ultrasound or fine needle biopsy.
