Blood Panel Detail

What’s Tested in the 6-Marker Thyroid Panel

A complete thyroid function and autoimmune profile — far beyond the basic TSH-only test offered in the standard non-private pathway.

T4 (Total T4)

Total thyroxine in the bloodstream — both protein-bound and free fractions. Useful when interpreted alongside Free T4 to assess binding protein effects.

TSH

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone — the most sensitive single marker. Raised in hypothyroidism, suppressed in hyperthyroidism. The cornerstone of thyroid testing.

Free T3

Bioavailable T3 — the active thyroid hormone responsible for cellular metabolism. Often elevated in hyperthyroidism, sometimes low in non-thyroidal illness.

Free T4

Bioavailable T4 — the unbound, active fraction available to tissues. Measurement preferred over Total T4 alone for accurate clinical assessment.

Thyroglobulin Antibodies (Anti-TG)

Autoimmune marker against thyroglobulin protein. Raised in autoimmune thyroid disease — both Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease.

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (Anti-TPO)

Most sensitive marker for autoimmune thyroid disease — particularly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Often raised before clinical hypothyroidism develops.

All blood markers analysed at our partner UKAS-accredited laboratory. Results reviewed and interpreted by our GMC-registered GP during your Visit 2 appointment, alongside a Pharmacist medication review. The standard non-private pathway typically tests TSH alone with reflex Free T4 only if abnormal — our 6-marker panel detects subtle and early thyroid dysfunction missed by basic testing.

Scan Coverage

What’s Assessed in the Thyroid & Neck Ultrasound

Comprehensive 20-minute neck ultrasound covering 4 anatomical regions, performed by a Specialist Sonographer.

Thyroid Gland

Bilateral assessment of thyroid lobes and isthmus. Measures size and volume, evaluates parenchymal echogenicity, identifies nodules (size, shape, composition, calcifications), and assesses vascularity using colour Doppler.

Cervical Lymph Nodes

Comprehensive assessment of cervical lymph node levels I–VI. Identifies suspicious morphology — round shape, loss of fatty hilum, calcifications, abnormal vascularity. Critical for thyroid cancer staging.

Parathyroid Glands

Four parathyroid glands when visible. Identifies parathyroid adenomas (causing primary hyperparathyroidism), enlargement, and ectopic glands. Particularly relevant when calcium is elevated.

Salivary Glands

Bilateral parotid glands and submandibular glands. Detects sialolithiasis (stones), benign tumours (Warthin’s, pleomorphic adenoma), inflammatory changes, and lymphoepithelial cysts.

TI-RADS Classification

Where thyroid nodules are identified, we apply the ACR TI-RADS classification system to stratify malignancy risk and guide management decisions.

Findings Discussed Live

Sonographer discusses observations in real time during the scan. Same-day verbal feedback included. Detailed images saved for your written report.

2-Visit Workflow

How the Package is Delivered

Two coordinated visits ensure your GP and Pharmacist review actual results, not just history. This is fundamentally different from rushed single-visit assessments.

Who Should Book

Who is the Thyroid Health Check For?

The package suits a wide range of adults wanting a thorough thyroid baseline — particularly those with symptoms or risk factors.

Unexplained fatigue

Persistent tiredness despite adequate sleep is a classic feature of thyroid dysfunction — often missed by TSH-only testing.

Weight changes

Unexplained weight gain (hypothyroid) or weight loss (hyperthyroid) — even with stable diet and exercise.

Hair loss or thinning

Diffuse hair loss, brittle hair, or eyebrow thinning — common in both hypo- and hyperthyroidism.

Family history of thyroid disease

Hashimoto’s, Graves’, and thyroid cancer have strong familial components. Early baseline screening recommended.

Menstrual irregularity

Heavy, irregular, or absent periods — thyroid disease commonly affects female reproductive function.

Fertility concerns

Both hypo- and hyperthyroidism affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Pre-conception testing recommended.

Palpable neck lump or fullness

Self-detected neck lumps or visible swelling — ultrasound is first-line imaging for evaluation.

Mood symptoms

Depression, anxiety, palpitations, or “brain fog” — all commonly linked to thyroid dysfunction.

Common Questions

How much does the Thyroid Health Check cost in London?

£449 all-inclusive at London Private Ultrasound. Standalone components cost £639 separately, so the bundle saves £190.

Optional add-ons at extra cost:

  • Endocrinologist Appointment: +£350
  • Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy: +£1,000
  • Calcitonin Blood Test: +£150
  • Reverse T3: +£140
  • Vitamin D + B12 + Folate: +£180
  • Cortisol / Adrenal Function: +£70
What is included in the 6-marker thyroid blood panel?

Our blood panel covers 6 thyroid markers:

  • T4 — Total T4
  • TSH — Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
  • Free T3 — active thyroid hormone
  • Free T4 — bioavailable T4
  • Thyroglobulin Antibodies — autoimmune marker
  • Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies — Hashimoto’s marker

This combination assesses both thyroid hormone production and autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease.

What does the thyroid ultrasound assess?

Comprehensive 20-minute neck ultrasound covering 4 anatomical regions:

  • Thyroid gland — size, structure, nodules, vascularity
  • Cervical lymph nodes — size, morphology, suspicious features
  • Parathyroid glands — when visible (looking for adenomas)
  • Salivary glands — parotid, submandibular

Detects: thyroid nodules, goitre, thyroiditis, parathyroid adenomas, salivary gland pathology, and suspicious lymph nodes.

Why is the package delivered in 2 visits?

The 2-visit workflow ensures the GP and Pharmacist review actual results, not just history:

  • Visit 1 (Day 1): All investigations performed (ultrasound, bloods). Same-day verbal scan findings.
  • Visit 2 (first Friday after Day 1): 30-minute face-to-face GP appointment combined with Pharmacist medication review — when all reports are ready.

This gives you complete, evidence-based clinical interpretation rather than rushed single-visit guesswork.

Should I take my thyroid medication before the test?

Yes — if you take thyroid medication (e.g., levothyroxine, liothyronine, carbimazole, propylthiouracil), take it as normal on the day of testing. Do not skip your dose.

The blood test reflects your current thyroid status while on medication, which is what your GP needs to assess whether your dose is correctly adjusted.

Do I need a GP referral?

No GP referral required. You can book directly through our online calendar, by phone on 020 7101 3377, or via WhatsApp/SMS to 07414 165515.

Are same-day appointments available?

Yes — same-day appointments for Visit 1 (the tests) are typically available, including weekends. Our clinics are open Monday to Sunday, 9am to 7pm.

Visit 2 (GP appointment + Pharmacist review) is scheduled for the first Friday after Visit 1, when all reports are ready.

What add-ons are available?

Six optional add-ons, charged on top of the £449 package:

  • Endocrinologist Appointment (+£350) — specialist consultation for complex thyroid conditions, suspicious nodules, or Graves’ disease
  • Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy (+£1,000) — ultrasound-guided cytological assessment of suspicious nodules
  • Calcitonin Blood Test (+£150) — medullary thyroid cancer marker, recommended for MEN2 syndrome or family history
  • Reverse T3 (+£140) — extended thyroid metabolism assessment for unexplained fatigue or non-thyroidal illness
  • Vitamin D + B12 + Folate (+£180) — common deficiencies in thyroid disease, particularly autoimmune cases
  • Cortisol / Adrenal Function (+£70) — adrenal function assessment alongside thyroid
What conditions does the Thyroid Health Check detect?

The package can detect or screen for:

  • Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid, including Graves’ disease)
  • Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis)
  • Thyroid nodules — benign and suspicious
  • Thyroid cancer screening (with TI-RADS classification)
  • Goitre (enlarged thyroid)
  • Thyroiditis (subacute, postpartum)
  • Subclinical thyroid dysfunction
  • Parathyroid adenomas
  • Salivary gland disorders
  • Cervical lymph node abnormalities
What happens if you find something abnormal?

If your assessment identifies findings requiring specialist input — such as suspicious thyroid nodules, abnormal antibodies suggesting autoimmune disease, or significantly deranged thyroid hormones — we issue a same-day formal report supporting referral to your NHS GP or to a private specialist of your choice at no additional charge.

You may also choose our Endocrinologist (+£350) for same-day specialist consultation, or FNA biopsy (+£1,000) for definitive cytological assessment of suspicious nodules.

How does this compare to non-private thyroid assessment?

Comprehensive thyroid screening of this depth is not routinely available through the standard non-private pathway. NHS thyroid testing is typically TSH alone, with reflex Free T4 only if TSH is abnormal.

Our private package provides:

  • 6 markers (including antibodies and Free T3) — not just TSH
  • Full ultrasound of thyroid + lymph nodes + parathyroid + salivary glands
  • 30-minute GP consultation reviewing all results
  • Pharmacist medication review
  • 2-visit workflow with same-day verbal results

See our comparison table above.
