What other tests do I need?

Hi I have diagnosed with overactive thyroid and awaiting endocrinologist appointment.

I’m having more bloods next week and looking at other posts I can see I need to make sure I have the following also tested.

Thyroid antibodies

Vit d

Folate

B12

Are there any others that I need testing?

Thank

You need iron-ferritin, very important. But i would say you got them all there-you may struggle getting the antibodies done by gp though!! Endos usually do them if you get a good knowledgeable one. Good luck.😊😊
