A member asked:
Could a fasting blood test tell if i have hypothryoidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If the lab order included the thyroid function test. Usually the routine blood work does not include thyroid function test, unless the ordering doctor is suspecting that you have signs or symptoms of hypothyroidism. Hope this helps.
