A member asked:
Do i need to get a blood test done on an empty stomach for thyroid ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid Testing: As a general rule, you dont need to fast (empty stomach) before thyroid function studies. These are dependent on the levels in your blood over time, and not generally affected by food and diet the day before.
