I went and had my cbc/lipid/tsh/t3/t4 labs done 2 hrs after eating my dr std no need to do test fasting and when the results came back my triglycerides were @ 575 could this(not fasting) cause my triglycerides to be so high?

Yes, it depends on what you ate also.

Have a lipid profile repeated after an overnight fast.

Normal triglycerides should be < 159

Also , what were the results of the tsh - hypothyroidism can contribute to high triglycerides. Diabetes is also associated with high triglycerides.

[lilmissadditude]

My tsh was 3.41, t3 was 292 and t4 was 1.1 my a1c was 5.2 and glucose was 106 and it was within 2 hrs of eating

Those all appear to be normal.

What was the rrest of the lipid profile. Ldl, hdl, total cholesterol?

Often times high triglycerides run in the family.

[lilmissadditude]

The cholesterol was 185, hdl was 37 ldl was unable to be calculated due to the high triglycerides and the choc/hdlc ratio was 5.0

Yes, not fasting will cause your triglyceride level to be elevated.
I am a laboratory worker and from experience, I disagree completely with your physician. To get an accurate triglyceride reading, the patient should be fasting for 12 - 14hours recommended. Most patients can handle 8 hours of fasting. Also, what you have eaten during the past few days will also weigh in to your trig results.
With any bloodwork it never hurts to fast for a period, or just eat a small snack, to avoid erroneous result.s

My suggestion is to tell the doctor that you do not trust the results and you want to retest next week after you fast for a period of 12 hours. He should not refuse.
