Before you begin
A few things
worth knowing.
Is this the right place to start?
Choose this panel if thyroid, liver and kidney markers are your focus. Despite the page address, this is Thyroid & Vital Organs: it does not include blood glucose or insulin.
What should I know before taking my sample?
Follow the collection and preparation instructions supplied with your kit. Register your sample and record the collection time before returning it for analysis. If you take medication, ask your clinician about testing; do not stop prescribed medication for a test.
What can this test tell me?
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.
How will I see my results?
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.
What are the limits of this panel?
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.
