Check Your Thyroid Health with our Thyroid Function - Diagnosis and Monitoring Blood Test
The Thyroid Function - Diagnosis and Monitoring Blood Test is designed to measure key thyroid hormones, including Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free T4. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating your metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. Imbalances can lead to a range of symptoms, from fatigue and weight gain to thinning hair and depression.
Why Choose the Thyroid Function Test?
Did you know that low thyroid affects 1 in 20 people in the UK, often causing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, thinning hair, and depression? If you're experiencing any of these signs, this test can help diagnose thyroid imbalances early, allowing for timely treatment and management.
The Thyroid Function - Diagnosis and Monitoring test helps identify whether your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) by measuring your TSH and Free T4 levels.
What’s Included in the Thyroid Function Test?
This test focuses on two key thyroid markers:
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the thyroid.
- Free T4: The main form of thyroid hormone, responsible for regulating metabolism and energy.
These markers provide valuable insight into your thyroid health and help guide any necessary treatment or lifestyle changes.

What TSH and Free T4 Tell You About Your Thyroid
Your thyroid results help show whether your body is keeping the right hormonal balance. The two markers (TSH and Free T4) work together, so understanding both gives a more complete picture.
If TSH is raised and Free T4 is low, it usually points to an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), where your thyroid isn’t producing enough hormones and your pituitary gland is trying to compensate by releasing more TSH.
If TSH is low and Free T4 is high, it often suggests an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), where the gland is producing too much hormone and the brain is trying to slow it down.
Sometimes both results fall within range but symptoms persist. This can indicate a mild or developing imbalance that’s worth monitoring over time.
Your report will explain your specific results and highlight whether any further tests or follow-up are recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast before my thyroid blood test?
No fasting is needed for this test. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment. Just stay hydrated so your blood draw is easier.
How long does a blood test take?
The sample collection usually takes 5-10 minutes.
How long will my results take?
Most thyroid results are available the next working day after your sample is taken. You’ll receive a doctor-reviewed report by secure email with a clear explanation.
How will I receive my results?
A link to your results will be emailed to you securely. You'll also receive an sms with the password you need to access your results. From here you can download, print or share your results.
Will someone explain my results to me?
We make great effort to ensure you'll be able to understand your results. Your results come as a graphical report with clear, easy-to-understand explanations. One of our doctors will also provide analysis of your results to ensure you get the most out of them.
Can I take this test if I’m on thyroid medication?
Yes. In fact, this test is often used to monitor your medication levels. Just take your medicine as normal unless your doctor has advised otherwise.
What’s the difference between this test and a full thyroid profile?
This Thyroid Function Blood Test checks TSH and Free T4, which cover the main markers of thyroid health. A full profile typically adds Free T3 and thyroid antibodies for a deeper look at thyroid activity and autoimmune causes.

How often should I check my thyroid levels?
If you’re on treatment, most people test every 3–6 months until stable, then once a year. If you’re not on medication but have symptoms, testing once or twice a year can help spot early changes.
Can I share my results with my GP?
Yes. Your results come in a professional, shareable PDF that most GPs can upload directly into your medical record.
Will this test diagnose my thyroid condition?
It can confirm whether your thyroid is underactive or overactive, but diagnosis and treatment should always be reviewed with a healthcare professional. Our doctors will help you understand your result but if your results fall outside normal or expected ranges, it would be wise to share them with your regular GP to discuss treatment.
Is the test suitable for men and women?
Yes. Thyroid conditions affect both men and women, though they’re more common in women. The same test applies to everyone.
Where is the blood test done?
All samples are taken in-clinic at our Epsom location by trained professionals, ensuring accurate results and a quick turnaround.
