Some labs and offices also offer online patient portals where you can view your results without having to call in. Select the name of the test, as indicated on your report, and enter it into the analyzer, along with your listed numerical value, to receive an analysis.
What information will I receive from the tool?

Patients with thyroid cancer, pregnancy or pituitary disorders must seek a specialist’s care.
How were the results analyzed?
Remember, however, that this analysis is for informational purposes only. You should use it as a starting point or to further understand what you have already discussed with your doctor. It is not a replacement for a professional medical visit.
Who else can see my lab results or personal analysis?
We take online privacy very seriously, especially when it comes to individual and personalized health information. We do not track which lab tests you analyze and we do not store any lab values you enter. You are the only one who can see your analysis. Also, you will not be able to return to your results, so if you would like to save them it is best to print them.
Please see ourPrivacy Policyfor more information.
Can this tool diagnose me with a thyroid condition?
This tool does not provide medical advice or diagnosis. It is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical consultations, diagnosis, or treatment.
What should I do with the analysis?
You should use the analysis to empower yourself and learn more about your results, but not to diagnose yourself with a thyroid-related condition, such ashyperthyroidism,hypothyroidism, Graves’ disease, orHashimoto’s thyroiditis. Proper diagnosis and treatment require a holistic look at your previous medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and more. Your doctor is the best person to do this.
You can use this information to inspire questions or use it as a starting point for a conversation with your doctor at your next appointment. Asking the right questions can help you know what to expect.
Also, consider bringing along a doctor discussion guide for even more guidance—it lists common vocabulary terms your doctor may use and important questions about symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and living well with thyroid disease.
