Where can I buy reliable home blood testkit ?

I cannot get blood tests at my doctor therefore I have to buy testkit for private use. Can I please ask for info on where to buy hometest kit that covers TSH, Free T4, Free T3, AntiTPO, TRAb and TgAb..... If not alloved to write company names here in the open - then please send a mail.

Private labs listed on ThyroidUK's main website here :

thyroiduk.org/getting-a-dia...

Medichecks and Blue Horizon are probably the most popular for the full thyroid panel.

Some people use Thriva but I don't.

TRAb is not included in any of the panels. You would have to do that separately, Medichecks do it and it's not a fingerprick test, you have to do it by venous blood draw :

I tried to purchase a pricktest by MediCheck - but could not open an account.... Do you know if they only sell to UK addresses ??

Which country do you live in? There are some other options available for different countries.

[Aboneart in reply to humanbean]

I'm in Denmark - and use to buy at LetsGetChecked, but they do not accept orders from Denmark for the time being... and they can't tell when they re-open.

This link gives links to companies that sell tests directly to the public :

It doesn't mention Denmark, but I wondered if labs in Sweden or the Netherlands or Germany would be of any use to you?

I expect they do as the blood sample is best if it arrives at the lab next day. Have you read their terms and conditions? Maybe it says something in there. If not then contact them for clarification.

Where do you live? Have you checked what private tests are available where you are?

Important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 too

If taking any supplements that contain biotin remember to stop these a week before ALL BLOOD TESTS

I aggree - but it is only the thyroid tests my doctor won't give me due to suppressed TSH....

I use Medichecks. They offer different thyroid tests depending on what you need Tested.
