About this test

This test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Free T3 and Free T4, along with the Anti-TPO and Anti-TG antibodies. These markers are commonly used to assess whether symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, poor sleep or sensitivity to temperature could be linked to thyroid function, since the thyroid plays a role in energy levels, mood and metabolism. Persistent symptoms are worth discussing with a GP alongside any test result.

Against the 14 tests in its comparison group, this one is priced 47% below the £87.50 median. Monitor My Health's Advanced Thyroid Test is cheaper still at £42, though it covers one fewer marker (4 versus 5). Randox's own clinic-based Thyroid Function Test costs £14 more, at £60, but returns results in 1 day rather than 2 to 3.

The scores reflect strong value with a modest speed trade-off. Value for money is very strong at 47% below the group median. Collection convenience scores well since it can be done at home, though total time including postage runs a little longer than the 2 to 3 day lab processing window. Clinical depth sits close to the group median of 5.5 markers. Results and follow-up scores lower since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits people who want to check thyroid function without visiting a clinic and do not mind waiting a day or two longer than the clinic option. If speed matters most, Randox's own clinic-based Thyroid Function Test returns results in 1 day for £60. If the lowest possible price matters more than one extra marker, Monitor My Health's Advanced Thyroid Test is £42. Anyone with ongoing symptoms should also consider seeing a GP.

How it works

You use the QuickDraw Premium kit at home, which draws blood from the upper arm using the Tasso+ device rather than a finger-prick. You post the sample to the lab, and results covering all 5 markers are available within 2 to 3 working days of arrival, though they are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
