Blood tests for teenage daughter

2 replies

Hi can anyone give any advice please on private blood tests. My 15 year old daughter has had tests done on the NHS and while it did tell us she is low on iron we weren't told anything else. Since going back and seeing another doctor we were told that actually her thyroid is showing issues too but as its not severe we weren't told. I want to get some done privately but having looked on Google there are so many at different prices. Has anyone had bloods done privately and who did you go with please

Before you do that you should request all the results and check for yourself.

It sounds as if what you're lacking is someone to properly interpret the blood tests already done (and how they fit in with her symptoms) not additional tests?
