Any views on this please? Patient just arrived in lab directly from nuclear
medicine having had Technetium uptake scan of thyroid and parathyroids. He
requires bloods for TFTs and PTH. Will the results be affected by the
earlier procedure? Gut feeling is that it's probably not the best time to
check his biochemistry, but does it really matter and is there any
evidence? I suspect this happens fairly frequently but without us
realising. Thanks Eric Hindle
