What was the indication for thyroid function test? If this is just a routine check and you are asymptomatic then you should have a radioactive iodine uptake test to confirm hyperparathyroidism before proceeding to partial thyroidectomy. Time of blood test does not matter but taking a high dose of biotin may interfere with the result with certain test method. Good luck.
