But there have been isolated reports stating that Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels have been recorded higher in the early morning fasting state than when taken later in the day after food.

No Drinking Water 12 Hours Before Thyroid Test For Accurate Result
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. In general it is taken that there is no specific restriction about the time of thyroid hormone testing. But there have been isolated reports stating that Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels have been recorded higher in the early morning fasting state than when taken later in the day after food. There is no evidence to support the restriction of water before thyroid function tests. Hope I have answered your query. Regards
