Here are my results: Have I been tested for Graves or not? I’d be very grateful for comments
Thanks in advance.

Well, you have been tested to see if you have an auto immune problem, not specifically Graves. And it appears that you dont. Whew! Any idea why your free t3 is over range?
Thanks so much for your reply. These bloods were the very first bloods I had taken last year at my first hospital appointment. The following results showed a further rise in my t3 and t4 levels. I was put onto Carbimazole. Followed by an utrasound scan which discovered I had toxic nodular goitres. But I wanted to ensure I didn’t have an auto immune issue as well. Is it feasible for some to have Graves and toxic nodular goitre? You say I have been tested for an auto immune disease, what would that be, if not Graves? which part of the results show this? I’m still trying to get my ahead around understanding blood results, it’s a big learning curve.
