Good news on Reverse T3

BlueHorizonMedicals profile image

We are just investigating an assurance by our main Lab that Reverse T3 is OK as a postal sample. We had previously been told that this wasn't possible without centrifuging and freezing but now it seems that a "quick postal transition" - ie next day delivery by 9 or 12 might be acceptable. Will keep you informed as I learn more.

I got a RT3 on mine (at another lab, sorry) that I just sent next day delivery.

Is this lab in the UK?

It was Genova, their Thyroid Plus panel

Just confirmed, this WILL give a valid sample, but next day delivery is essential.
