Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Is it necessary to do the thyroid labs fasting? TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and Thyroid antibodies, specifically. I have a number of labs that have to be done as fasting labs, but since I will be pursuing labs specifically for evaluating my thyroid I am hoping that I don't have to get up at 5 a.m. to be first in line.
