Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
The hormone that tells your thyroid how hard to work.
Why it matters
A first-line marker for thyroid balance.
Endocrinology examines the intricate network of glands and hormones that regulate critical physiological processes—from metabolic rate and developmental growth to reproductive function and emotional equilibrium. This specialised field addresses hormonal dysregulation and its cascading effects across multiple organ systems. Our panel provides comprehensive assessment of thyroid function and broader endocrine balance, enabling clinicians to identify underlying hormonal contributors to patient symptoms and optimise treatment strategies accordingly.
Sample requirements
Collected at either our Chxhealth clinic in Lanchester (book your appointment during checkout) or at one of our 50+ UK partnered clinics (you'll receive a separate booking email after checkout). Phlebotomy fee included in the price.
The hormone that tells your thyroid how hard to work.
A first-line marker for thyroid balance.
The active form of one of your main thyroid hormones (T4).
Adds detail beyond TSH for a fuller thyroid picture.
The active form of your other main thyroid hormone (T3).
Helps show how well your thyroid signal is being used.
An immune marker linked to the thyroid.
Can be a sign your immune system is reacting to your thyroid.
Another immune marker linked to the thyroid.
Often raised when the immune system is reacting to thyroid tissue.
The main form of oestrogen.
Linked to mood, cycle, skin and bone health.
A hormone involved in fertility and the menstrual cycle.
Gives insight into reproductive hormones for both men and women.
A hormone involved in ovulation and testosterone production.
Helps complete the reproductive-hormone picture.
A key female reproductive hormone.
Linked to cycle regularity, mood and sleep.
A hormone made by the pituitary gland.
Higher levels can be linked to cycle changes or fertility insight.
Your main androgen hormone.
Linked to energy, mood, libido and muscle for both men and women.
The protein that carries sex hormones in your blood.
Affects how much testosterone and oestrogen are actually active.
A calculated estimate of active testosterone.
A simple summary of androgen activity.
This panel reports biomarker data. It does not diagnose any condition. Your results should be reviewed alongside the advice of your GP or another qualified healthcare professional.

Symptoms tell you something is wrong. Tests tell you what. This panel measures the biomarkers that connect to how you actually feel — so you can act with evidence, not guesswork.
Endocrinology results are typically delivered within 2 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample. You receive a plain English PDF report.
The Endocrinology panel requires a venous blood draw at a Chxhealth or partner clinic. The phlebotomy fee is included in the price. Choose our Lanchester clinic or one of our 50+ UK partner and pop-up clinics when you book.
The panel suits adults with symptoms that could relate to multiple hormone systems (thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones, insulin), or anyone who wants a broad endocrine baseline rather than a single hormone in isolation.
For comparable hormone results across the cycle, day 3 (early follicular) is the standard reference timing. If you are postmenopausal or have an irregular cycle, the panel can be taken on any day. Your booking confirmation will give specific guidance.
Endocrinology Plus adds further markers for a deeper hormone profile, particularly useful if you have already tested before, are over 45, or have complex symptoms. The standard Endocrinology panel is the right starting point for most first-time hormone investigations.
