The thyroid gland is found in the neck and helps regulate your metabolism, growth and development by releasing hormones into the blood. An underactive thyroid may cause symptoms of tiredness and weight gain. An overactive thyroid may cause weight loss, tiredness, changes to skin, hair and bowels.

By checking your Thyroid Function, our home Thyroid test, we will measure the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) in the blood which will help to understand if your thyroid is functioning normally.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein made by the prostate gland. High PSA levels may be a sign of prostate enlargement (hypertrophy) or Prostate cancer. Our comprehensive PSA test measures the level of PSA in the blood and helps detect any abnormalities. Signs of an enlarged or cancerous prostate may include: Waking up to pass urine, poor flow/stream, dribbling at the end of passing urine and an urgent and frequent need to pass urine.

If your PSA is raised you may book an appointment with our expert GPs to discuss the result and so we may organise the necessary follow up.

Vitamin D helps regulate calcium levels in the blood and also has a major effect on the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestine – but is one of the few vitamins we risk a deficit of. It is essential to maintain healthy bones and teeth, however, the body cannot produce vitamin D itself without the help of the sun.

Our home Vitamin D test helps ensure that your levels are adequate and helps keep you healthy. If you are feeling tired all the time or have bone pains you may have a low Vitamin D level. If your levels are low, you can book a GP appointment to discuss Vitamin D replacement.
