Re: Blood work test -- non fasting/OK

[Guest guest]

The reverse T3 test does not require fasting to be accurate. I get some of my

labs from directlabs.com; I wrote and asked them. I have pasted in the text

from the emails below.

I do not know whether or not the test's accuracy will be affected by his taking

thyroid medicine the morning of the test.

(has a free t3 test a couple of weeks ago also done without fast) Do you think

the results will be valid?
