TRAB (TSH Receptor Antibodies)

Does anyone know where the cheapest private blood test for TSH Receptor Antibodies can be found? Most tests I see include TPO and TgAB but not TRAb or TSI Ab. Specifically looking for this test for regular monitoring after discussion with an endocrinologist.

Your profile is saying that you're in Australia, in which case I doubt many people will have information for you.

If you are in the UK then firstly change your profile to state your country of residence.

As far as I am aware the TRab test is quite expensive at around £100 at cheapest and if you have had the test once as a positive I doubt there's much point in regularly monitoring it.

Is it suspected that you might be hyperthyroid?

Potential graves but with blocking antibodies. At the moment it is postpartum thyroiditis but I have had one high TSI antibody test around my hyper phase just before I went hypo.
