A blood test measuring TSH and FT4, the two hormones commonly used to assess thyroid function. Suited to anyone monitoring a known thyroid issue or investigating symptoms such as fatigue with a GP.
2 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
This test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4), the two hormones most commonly used to assess whether the thyroid is over or underactive. It does not include free triiodothyronine (FT3), which some other providers add to give a fuller picture.
At £65, this is more expensive than several other 2-marker thyroid tests we compare, including YorkTest (£41), MyHealthChecked (£45) and Thriva (£54.90), and it also costs more than 3-marker panels from Monitor My Health (£32) and Medichecks (£45), which add FT3 for less money. It is cheaper than Better2Know's 2-marker kit (£69) and considerably cheaper than Better2Know's 3-marker version (£199).
The score reflects a clearly presented listing and a lab that is UKAS ISO 15189 accredited and CQC registered, offset by a price that sits above the £54.90 group median for a 2-marker test, an in-person venous draw rather than a home kit, and the absence of a doctor review as standard.
This suits anyone who wants a straightforward TSH and FT4 check, for example to monitor a known thyroid issue or investigate symptoms like fatigue or weight changes alongside a GP. If you want FT3 included too, Medichecks offers a 3-marker panel for £45 and Monitor My Health for £32, both cheaper than this 2-marker Bluecrest test. If you specifically want TSH and FT4 only, Thriva's version at £54.90 is cheaper than Bluecrest's £65. Symptoms of a thyroid problem should always be discussed with a GP.
You attend a Bluecrest venue for a venous blood draw; there is no at-home kit for this test. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own UKAS ISO 15189 accredited laboratory to measure TSH and FT4, with results typically back within 3 to 8 days. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
A thyroid blood test measuring TSH and FT4 only, not FT3, taken via a venous draw for £65. That is more than most of the 2-marker thyroid tests we compare, such as YorkTest (£41) and Thriva (£54.90), though cheaper than Better2Know's equivalent kit (£69), and results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
