Thyroid Profile II (Including Anti-TPO Antibodies)
Book your Thyroid Profile II test with Anti-TPO to assess thyroid hormones (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) and autoimmune markers. Detect Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease early. Private UK-wide testing.
What's included in this profile
- The active, unbound form of the main thyroid hormone T4
- Checked alongside TSH to assess thyroid function
- Helps confirm an over or underactive thyroid
- The active, unbound form of the thyroid hormone T3
- The most biologically active thyroid hormone
- Particularly useful in assessing an overactive thyroid
- The pituitary hormone that signals the thyroid to produce T3/T4
- The primary firstline test for thyroid function
- Raised or low levels suggest an underactive or overactive thyroid
- Antibodies that can attack the thyroid gland
- Raised levels suggest an autoimmune thyroid condition (e.g. Hashimoto's)
- Helps explain the underlying cause of thyroid dysfunction
About this profile
The Thyroid Profile II Test (incl. TPO Ab) is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to assess your thyroid gland function and detect autoimmune activity that may affect hormone production. This advanced private blood test combines essential hormone markers with antibody testing, offering a complete picture of your thyroid health.
Whether you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings, this test helps identify underlying thyroid imbalances or autoimmune thyroid disease.
What’s Included in the Thyroid Profile II (TPO Ab) Test?
✔ TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone):
A key regulator produced by the pituitary gland. Abnormal TSH levels may indicate an underactive (hypothyroid) or overactive (hyperthyroid) thyroid.
✔ Free T3 (Triiodothyronine):
The active form of thyroid hormone that supports metabolism, temperature control, and energy levels.
✔ Free T4 (Thyroxine):
The precursor hormone to T3. Measuring Free T4 helps assess how well the thyroid is producing and regulating hormones.
✔ Anti-TPO (Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies):
These antibodies target the enzyme needed for hormone production. Elevated levels may indicate Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease—common autoimmune thyroid conditions.
Why Choose the Thyroid Profile II (TPO Ab) Test?
- Detect early autoimmune thyroid disease
- Diagnose or monitor hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism
- Investigate symptoms like tiredness, weight gain, cold intolerance, and low mood
- Get a full overview of thyroid hormone production and immune response
- Ideal for those with a family history of thyroid conditions or long-term symptoms
