Book a thyroid test at home and a DHA-licensed professional from Call Doctor Now collects your sample in your own living room. The panel measures TSH, free T4, and free T3, the three hormones that show how your thyroid gland is working. Appointments run 24 hours a day across 40+ Dubai areas, and your digital report reaches you by WhatsApp or email, usually the same day or within 24 to 48 hours.

A thyroid profile measures hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Wider panels add antibodies, which are immune proteins that can attack thyroid tissue. Book the panel your physician requested, or call and we’ll confirm it.
Produced by the pituitary gland, not the thyroid. TSH signals the thyroid to release hormones and usually shifts before the others, which is why physicians request it first.
The main thyroid hormone in the blood is measured in its unbound form, the portion available to your cells. Read alongside TSH, it gives a clearer picture than either marker alone.
A second thyroid hormone, also measured unbound. Some physicians prefer total T3 for investigating an overactive thyroid. Because a licensed professional collects a venous sample at your home, either can be ordered.
Detected when the immune system is acting against thyroid tissue. Physicians add it when the cause, rather than the hormone level, is the question.
Ordered less often, usually for specific monitoring purposes rather than routine testing. Every panel uses one venous sample, drawn with sterile single-use equipment and analysed by immunoassay at the laboratory. More markers, same single needle.
Preparation is short, but it decides whether your result is usable. Fasting is usually not required. TSH, free T4, and free T3 are not affected by a recent meal. You only need to fast if the same draw includes a lipid profile or fasting glucose, so confirm this when you book.
If you take levothyroxine, collect the sample before your daily dose. Taking the tablet first can raise the measured level and misrepresent your baseline.
Pause high-dose biotin supplements, sold as vitamin B7 and common in hair and nail products. Biotin can interfere with the immunoassay used to measure thyroid hormones.
Keep repeat tests at a similar time of day. TSH varies through the day, so consistent timing makes monitoring results comparable.
Drink water and wear a loose sleeve so the vein is easier to access. Mention pregnancy, current illness, recent contrast imaging or past difficulty with blood draws when you book, and have your Emirates ID and physician’s request form ready.
Call Doctor Now Home Health Care Centre is licensed by the Dubai Health Authority as a home healthcare facility. You book with the provider directly, not an intermediary that forwards your request to a third party. Home healthcare in Dubai operates under DHA regulation, and the license covers the service you are buying.
The service is led by Dr Muhammad Jan, a DHA-licensed general practitioner. Clinical decisions about panels, collection, and escalation sit with licensed medical staff rather than a call center.
Your sample is not analysed at your address. The tubes are transported to a clinical laboratory, where TSH, free T4, and free T3 are measured by immunoassay on the same platforms used for clinic samples. Home collection changes the location, not the analytical method.
Single-use sterile collection equipment is used for every draw. Your identity is confirmed before collection, and tubes are labelled in front of you, so the sample that reaches the laboratory is unambiguously yours.
Collection runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including public holidays, across 40+ Dubai communities from Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah to Deira and Arabian Ranches.
Your report is issued as a PDF and sent by WhatsApp or email, usually the same day or within 24 to 48 hours. You receive it directly rather than collecting it from a counter.
Tell us your area and preferred time. Send a photo of your physician's request form if you have one. We confirm the panel and total cost before anyone is dispatched.
A DHA-licensed nurse or qualified phlebotomy professional arrives at your home and collects one venous sample using sterile single-use equipment. The draw takes a few minutes.
Your TSH, free T4, and free T3 results are sent as a digital PDF by WhatsApp or email, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
