Hyper blood test

Hyper or Hypo? Possibly thyroïd function as the two often go together.

Has she got the word right I ve not heard of a hyper blood test nor has google

I suspect she has only caught half the word, It is probably a blood test to see whether she is hyper-something or hypo-something - too high or low a level of something or other. Most medical tests measure whether something is too high or too low, so it could be anything!

There are a few " hyper " blood tests but it depends what the hyper is.

One likelihood is for hyperthyroidism. Normal thyroid test just looks at TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), but if this is very low, they will test for the actual thyroid hormone, usually T4. Suggest to her that she ask more questions and get them to write down what test is for. It’s important to understand own health issues, or have a relative know and explain.

As others have said, no such thing as a "hyper" blood test. Could be for thyroid, or glucose, or cholesterol, or maybe something else entirely!

Thanks for replies, i suggested thyroid, but that is my sister, she doesn't ask questions,she said she will ask when she goes for it,
It's not that she doesn't understand, she doesn't listen,ad she lives miles away from me,but her family live close to her,
I meant thyroid not diabetes ,no idea why i said that,as it was thyroid i suggested to her on the ohone

Hi I’ve had bilateral total knee replacement on 09/08/19 and I would really like to talk to people who’ve had this, I’m finding the pain pretty awful, especially at night, like a constant throb whch doesn’t eleviate even with strong painkillers
Thank you in advance

You need to start a new thread, evel, and give it a title so people can see what you want to talk about. If you ask on this discussion the title is about hyper blood tests...

Could it possibly be a blood test for Helicobacter pylori often shortened to H pylori ? Your sister may have misheard. I have just had tests for this and it was referred to as the latter.

Evel better to start new thread with title related to knee replacement, but my husband had both knees replaced just before Easter. He had a lot of pain the first few weeks, but found ice packs helped a bit. After a few weeks it was a bit better and after 6 weeks there was big improvement. He took the max dose of paracetamol recommended and still takes some, and ibuprofen. But now, 4 months after op, he can do a lot of things he couldn’t do before, like cycling and has very little pain.
A website recommended by another poster here is very helpful - bonesmart.org.

Thanks all for suggestions, it apparently was for hypertension, she doesn't know why as she had all blood tests etc,done the day before
All i can think of is her blood pressure reading wasn't correct or some doubt about it
She is already on 2 meds for blood pressure
