A change in how you feel can leave you going over the same questions about your thyroid. Seeing your levels gives you something concrete to understand. And if you feel well but have never looked at your liver or kidney markers, you can make a first record now, while taking an interest in your health on your own terms.
If you’ve only had a TSH reading before, seeing the thyroid hormones alongside that regulating signal adds context to the number you know. Your Helvy report explains why those readings belong together. It also explains the liver and kidney markers, so you can understand what they reflect and keep a reference for any future tests.
Your first thyroid or organ results can bring a lot of unfamiliar names. The report explains what they reflect beside each reading, so you can follow your own results without researching every abbreviation. Try the example to see how the explanations and ranges are presented.
Your results stay in your Helvy account. Keep your first test as a baseline and compare selected markers if you choose to test again.

16 markers, grouped by what they reflect. Open a name to see why it is included.
The main hormone your thyroid releases, in the unbound form your tissues can take up.
The active thyroid hormone, most of it converted from free T4 in the liver and other tissues.
The pituitary signal that tells the thyroid how much hormone to make. It rises when the thyroid is running slow.
The waste product your liver makes from used protein and your kidneys clear, so it moves with both protein intake and hydration.
A waste product your muscles make at a steady rate, which your kidneys clear, so it reflects both muscle mass and filtration.
An estimate of how much blood your kidneys filter each minute, calculated from creatinine with your age and sex.
The main protein your liver makes to hold fluid inside blood vessels and carry hormones and minerals around.
All the protein circulating in your blood, albumin plus the antibody and transport proteins.
An enzyme found mainly in liver and bone, which is why it moves for reasons in either.
An enzyme that lives inside liver cells and leaks into the blood when they are under strain.
The cholesterol carried by the particles that can lodge in artery walls.
The particles that carry cholesterol back to the liver for disposal, a marker of how well that return traffic is running.
The fat your blood is transporting between meals and storage, which rises with recent food, alcohol and excess carbohydrate.
The total amount of cholesterol your blood is carrying, protective and harmful particles counted together.
The balance between your total cholesterol and the protective fraction, shown for context.
Every cholesterol-carrying particle that can enter an artery wall, in one number.

It gives you a snapshot of the markers included in this panel. One result outside a range does not on its own mean something is medically wrong. Speak to your GP about persistent or concerning symptoms.
Your blood test results are displayed in your Helvy account. You can explore the sample report on this page to see an illustrative example before you order.
This panel measures thyroid hormone levels, not thyroid antibodies. It does not include blood sugar markers. Hydration, hard training and recent illness can affect kidney and liver results.
