Thyroid Test
UpdatedI have a simple question. Should the Thyroid tests namely, TSH,T3 and T4 done on an empty stomach? Our GP says that the test should be done at least 12 hours after the last food intake. Whereas the technicians at the diagnostic lab said no such restriction is there and the test could be anytime. Who is correct?
