ive got an appointment through for endrocolgist clinic in oct they want me to get some bloods done which i enclose. Also im having the medichecks ones asvised on here the same time i enclose have i covered everything?

Also ive been having problems for a while with either my igg or iga or igm sometimes both low can this be linked to thyroid. Ive been battling a cuti infection for 3.5 years and wondering if all this is why i cant fight the infection. It was my cuti specialist who picked up hyperthyroidism as they admitted me to hosoital for lots of tests to makesure they werent missing anything.

Thankyou

Only TSH and T4 are listed. Free T4 (FT4) rather than Total T4 is the better test so I would try and clarify that. Also it would be better if FT3 was included.

Yes, the Advanced Thyroid Test includes FT4 and FT3; however, your private test may not be acceptable to an NHS doctor.

I don't know if that is Free or Total T4, it just says T4, that's why I said to clarify.
