Message from Queen Elizabeth Hospital Biochemistry:
A problem with a national NHS supplier Roche means that we have unfortunately had to cancel a limited number of tests. We know how frustrating this is. Roche are working urgently to resolve this.
The following tests will be temporarily withdrawn
· B12,
· folate,
· rheumatoid factor,
· thyroid peroxidase antibodies,
· ferritin and transferrin,
· valproate, lipids (fasting and non-fasting).
· Thyroid function tests will remain but please only use these for acute symptomatic patients only.
