Query regarding Thyroid Test

2020-01-09 11:17:44
My doctor prescribed me a thyroid profile test (T3,T4 & TSH) . At what time the blood sample must be given for best results as it is a hormonal test. Once I went for PTH test after 10 am , the lab refused to take my sample claiming that the PTH test is hormonal test and must be given between 8 am to 10 am and not after that. Is that the same case with Thyroid profile too ?

No. Thyroid profile doesn't require fasting or any particular time. However, it may be the labs policy to collect the sample at a particular timing as they have to process multiple blood samples of different patients collectively.
