About this test

This test covers thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Free T3, Free T4, and the Anti-TPO and Anti-TG antibodies. The provider links these markers to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain or loss, low mood, hair thinning, anxiety, palpitations and sensitivity to heat or cold, describing them as commonly linked to an underactive or overactive thyroid. If symptoms are ongoing, a GP visit alongside any test result is a sensible next step.

Among the 8 comparable thyroid tests in our data, this one is priced 31% below the £87.50 median, undercutting Medichecks (£65), London Medical Laboratory (£79), Thriva (£80.10), Selph (£87), Numan (£88) and LetsGetChecked (£99). It costs more than Monitor My Health's 4-marker test (£42) and Randox's own at-home Quickdraw version of this same 5-marker panel (£46), which is £14 cheaper but takes 2 to 3 days rather than 1.

The scores show a fast, well-priced option. Value for money is strong at 31% below the group median. Clinical depth sits close to the group median of 5.5 markers. Collection convenience benefits from the 24-hour turnaround, though it still requires a clinic visit. 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 the fastest possible thyroid results and do not mind visiting a clinic. If avoiding a clinic visit matters more than speed, Randox's own at-home Quickdraw version tests the identical 5 markers for £14 less, just a day or two slower. If price matters most and one fewer marker is acceptable, Monitor My Health's Advanced Thyroid Test is £42.

How it works

You attend a Randox Health clinic for a venous blood draw. The sample is sent to the lab, and results covering all 5 markers are available within 24 hours of arrival, though they are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
