It’s not uncommon for UK adults to go years with undiagnosed thyroid issues, as early symptoms can be subtle or mistaken for stress, ageing or lifestyle factors.
Some people have thyroid hormone levels that are slightly abnormal but don’t yet cause strong symptoms. This is known as subclinical thyroid dysfunction, and the Free T4 blood test plays a key role in detecting it.
These can be easily missed and attributed to a busy life, especially in the UK winter months.
Early detection of thyroid issues can help prevent complications and improve your future wellbeing.
The Mayfield Clinic Home Free T4 Blood Test Kit lets you collect a small blood sample at home. It’s lab tested, with results in just one day, and no need for a clinic appointment.
Buy our home Free T4 blood test kit online or book an in-person appointment at Mayfield Clinic. Visit our product page for more details.
The Free T4 blood test measures the active thyroid hormone in your bloodstream, helping to detect overactive or underactive thyroid early, even before you feel unwell. Early detection can mean earlier treatment and improved quality of life.
Medical evidence suggests routine screening is not needed for everyone, but if you have a family history of thyroid disease, are over 60, or notice subtle symptoms, periodic home testing can give peace of mind.
A drop of blood from a finger prick is usually all that's needed with the TDL collection kit. It's quick, simple, and done from home.
