A 6-marker thyroid panel measuring TSH, free T3, free T4, total T4 and two thyroid antibodies (TPO and thyroglobulin), for people investigating possible autoimmune thyroid disease.
6 biomarkers as listed by Selph.
The Advanced Thyroid Test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3, free T4, total T4 and two thyroid antibodies: thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody and thyroglobulin antibody. Testing both antibodies gives a fuller picture of autoimmune activity than a single-antibody panel, since either can be raised in autoimmune thyroid conditions.
Against the 14 advanced thyroid tests we track, its 6 markers are above the median of 5.5, and its £87 price is almost exactly at the £87.50 median. Peers such as Medichecks' Thyroid Function with Antibodies test (£65, 5 markers) and London Medical Laboratory's Thyroid Full Profile (£79, 5 markers) cover fewer antibodies for less; Thriva's Advanced thyroid function test (£80.10) matches it at 6 markers for slightly less. It is Selph's upgrade on the standard Thyroid Blood Test, and buying it as a standalone panel costs £81, £6 less than the upgrade price.
This is why it scores highly on Clinical Depth and Collection Convenience, the latter reflecting the choice of finger-prick, Tasso EasyDraw, clinic or nurse draw with results in 1 to 2 days. value for money is more middling since it sits right at the group median rather than undercutting it.
This suits you if you want both major thyroid antibodies tested alongside the core hormones, for example if you have thyroid symptoms with a family history of autoimmune thyroid disease. If you only need TSH and free hormones without antibodies, Randox Health's Thyroid Function Quickdraw Test (£46, 5 markers) covers the basics for less, and ordering this Selph panel as a standalone product rather than an upgrade saves £6.
You can collect a sample at home with a finger-prick kit included in the price, or upgrade to the Tasso EasyDraw device, a clinic visit or a nurse draw at home or work; a self-arranged venous draw is also included. A Selph doctor reviews your results and provides a written report, typically within 1 to 2 days.
This 6-marker thyroid panel costs £87, in line with the £87.50 median for the 14 advanced thyroid tests we track, though £6 more than buying the same panel as a standalone product (£81). It covers more ground than most peers by testing both TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies alongside TSH, free T3, free T4 and total T4, where competitors such as Medichecks' Thyroid Function with Antibodies test only one antibody. The main caveat is that ordering it as an upgrade rather than standalone costs slightly more.

Mid-priced 5-hormone thyroid panel with antibodies
Tests TSH, free thyroxine, free T3 and two thyroid antibodies, extending the basic thyroid panel to look for autoimmune involvement. Suited to investigating thyroid symptoms or monitoring a known autoimmune thyroid condition.
Cheapest advanced thyroid test with antibodies
Measures TSH, FT4, FT3 and TPO antibodies from an at-home finger-prick sample, for anyone with possible thyroid symptoms who wants antibody testing alongside the standard hormone panel.
Widest thyroid panel in its group, at the highest price

Mid-priced among the six-marker thyroid panels
This blood test measures thyroid hormones (TSH, free T4, free T3), thyroid antibodies and vitamin D. It suits anyone with possible thyroid symptoms who wants antibody testing included, not just hormones.

Priced above every named peer in its thyroid group
This blood test measures TSH, free T3, free T4 and reverse T3, giving a focused view of thyroid hormone status. It suits people already diagnosed with a thyroid condition who want ongoing monitoring rather than a first-time check.
Same marker count as rivals, at a far higher price
