Vit D is included in either the Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Function Test or Blue Horizon Thyroid Premium Gold test. Calcium is not included in any thyroid bundle.

If you just want Vit D then this NHS lab which offers it to the general public as a blood spot fingerprick test is cheapest and easiest:

If you want thyroid/key vitamins (including Vit D):

Medichecks ADVANCED THYROID FUNCTION medichecks.com/products/adv...

Check this page for details of any discounts: thyroiduk.org/getting-a-dia...

or

Blue Horizon Thyroid PREMIUM GOLD bluehorizonbloodtests.co.uk...

T3 should always be tested alongside FT4 and TSH.

Hi seasidesusie ❤️Thank you for that info... At the moment I'm under an endo at Hexham general, in a nutshell, last year my calcium went over twice.. 2.61...2.68..( ranges.. 2.10..2.60).. gp sent calcium results to endo(not the one in Hexham) endo requested PTH,calcium, vitamin D for June 2020..unfortunately the lab refused to do vitamin D... Again the endo requested bloods again in August 2020 and again the labs refused to do vit D.. Eventho the endo was testing me for primary /secondary hyperparathiyroidism, in all tests I've had done my surgery have never informed me that they have not done the correct blood tests for hyperparathiyroidism in the last year 😠.. Hence me seeing a new endo in Hexham he as found the mistake out and I've now to start all over again with new bloods😠.. I'm bk again on Dec the 6th for second round of bloods.. But he put me on 3000iu of vitamin D.. I did have a vit D done even in sep 2020 no pth it was 29..hence the 3000iu vit D... I've been ke symptoms at bay by drinking 2/3 liters of water a day and it's been going well until I started on the 3000iu vit D.. My symptoms seem to be getting worse even drinking the water😭.. My first bloods from Hexham were on September 24th..next ones are 6th Dec.. I feel I need a blood test before this date as my symptoms are coming bk.. Gp won't do PTH, calcium, vit D.. 😠 So will probably need to do it myself but it must contain calcium to... 🙄

Sorry for the long reply seasidesusie but I'm angry my surgery and the last endo as let me down so bad.. 😠😠
