Thyroid Profile 1 (FT4/TSH) (Venous) checks two key thyroid hormones: Free T4 and TSH. It helps assess thyroid gland activity and may indicate under‑ or over‑active thyroid. This test is for adults with thyroid concerns, and it includes a venous blood draw plus a £50 phlebotomy fee on top of the £88 lab price.
About this treatment
Thyroid Profile 1 (FT4/TSH) (Venous) quantifies two specific biomarkers—Free T4 (thyroxine) and Thyroid‑Stimulating Hormone (TSH)—to evaluate thyroid gland function. These markers may support discussions about symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, or temperature sensitivity. The panel is intended for adults who suspect thyroid imbalance or who are undergoing routine endocrine monitoring. A venous blood sample is taken, and the laboratory fee is £88 with an additional £50 phlebotomy charge per visit. Results are typically available within a few days, accompanied by a comprehensive report and a brief clinician‑led consultation. Unique to this test are the exact two‑marker composition and its dedicated focus on thyroid hormone balance.

Biomarkers tested
2The unbound, active form of the main thyroid hormone T4. Free T4 directly reflects thyroid gland output and is used alongside TSH to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders.
The primary screening test for thyroid function. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid hormone production. High TSH indicates an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), while low TSH suggests an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
