⚠️TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone)
4.6 mIU/LA touch above the 4.0 upper cutoff. Often nothing serious — TSH fluctuates with stress, sleep, and time of day — but worth flagging at your next visit.

From cryptic hormone numbers to calm clarity
Endocrine panels are dense with abbreviations — TSH, FT4, DHEA-S, SHBG. LabTestly rewrites every value into context-rich, reassuring language anyone can use.

| TEST | RESULT | REF |
|---|---|---|
| TSH | 4.6 mIU/L | 0.4–4.0H |

| CORT | 18 µg/dL | 6–23 |

- What does a TSH of 4.6 mIU/L mean?
- How are TSH and free T4 related?
- What does a low testosterone level indicate?
- What does morning cortisol show?
- Should I discuss hormone trends with my doctor?
- Which hormones are in this panel?
- How often should I check my hormonal balance?
LabTestly — Plain EnglishPlain-English explanation
🦋Free T4
1.1 ng/dLRight in the middle of the healthy range. Free T4 is the active thyroid hormone available to your tissues — a normal value here means your thyroid output itself looks fine despite the slightly raised TSH.
Read more🌅Cortisol (morning)
18 µg/dLComfortably in the morning reference window. Cortisol peaks shortly after waking and falls through the day — a healthy AM value usually points to a normal stress-response axis.
Read more🧬Testosterone (total)
240 ng/dLJust below the 264 lower bound for adult men. Many things can pull testosterone down — sleep, weight, stress, certain medications — and a single low value is worth a calm conversation about repeating the test with SHBG and free testosterone.

Features
Everything you need to feel informed
LabTestly was designed specifically for patients — not clinicians. Every feature is built around you.
Plain-English explanations
Every biomarker is translated into language anyone can understand — no medical degree required.
Reference range context
We show you not just your number, but what it means — where it falls within healthy ranges and why it matters.
Calm, not clinical
No alarming language. No diagnoses. Just the calm, educational clarity you need to feel genuinely informed.
Questions for your doctor
We help you formulate the right questions before your next appointment — so no visit feels wasted.
Smarter assistant on Premium
Pro members get a deeper-thinking assistant — it reasons across multiple markers at once and writes richer, more thorough answers.
Your PDF auto-deletes
We wipe your original file from our servers the moment analysis succeeds — usually within seconds. Only the structured data that powers your chat and trends stays. Encrypted, never sold.
Thyroid panels (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, antibodies), adrenal (cortisol, DHEA-S, aldosterone), sex hormones (testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, progesterone, LH, FSH), pituitary (prolactin, growth hormone, IGF-1), metabolic-related (insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c), and many more. If your panel has it printed, the AI reads it.
No — and we will never do that. LabTestly explains what each marker measures, whether your value sits inside the reference range, and questions worth raising with your doctor. Diagnosis is your clinician's job, not an AI's.
Usually not on a single reading. TSH responds to stress, sleep, recent illness, the time of day the sample was drawn, and even pregnancy. Many doctors recheck a borderline TSH a few weeks later before changing anything. We surface the deviation in plain English so you can have an informed conversation.
Yes. The interpretation runs on every value the lab printed. You can then chat with the assistant about specific markers, ask how two values relate, or get a focused summary on just the abnormal ones.
No. LabTestly is an educational tool that explains what blood test values mean in plain language. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We always encourage you to discuss your results with your doctor — every interpretation includes that reminder.
We accept PDFs, JPEGs, PNGs, and WebP files up to 10 MB. This covers printed lab reports, scanned documents, photos taken on your phone, and screenshots from patient portals like MyChart or Quest Diagnostics. If your lab sends a PDF by email, you can upload that directly.
Our AI is trained on medical literature and uses established clinical reference ranges. Interpretations are carefully worded to be educational and accurate. That said, lab values can be affected by many factors — time of day, recent meals, medications — which is why we always encourage a conversation with your doctor for full context.
Privacy First: Your Data, Your Control
- Files are Temporary: Within seconds of analysis, your original PDF is permanently purged from our servers.
- Structured Privacy: We only retain the extracted data points (numbers, dates, and markers) to power your charts and chat history.
- Total Security: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-leading protocols.
- Our Zero-Sharing Promise: We never sell your data to insurers, never share it with advertisers, and never use it to train public AI models.
We cover most standard blood panels including Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP), Lipid Panel, Thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4), Vitamin D and B12, Iron studies, HbA1c, and more. If you upload a panel we don't recognize, we'll tell you.
Absolutely. Every interpretation can be downloaded as a PDF or shared via a secure, expiring link. Many of our users bring their LabTestly summary to appointments as a conversation starter. It's designed to complement — not replace — the doctor-patient relationship.
The free plan includes 1 lab report per month. For most people that is enough if they only test occasionally and just want to understand their results in plain language.
Premium is built for people who want to see the full picture of their health over time. You can upload unlimited lab reports, add older tests, and compare markers as they change.
With Premium you get:
- Unlimited lab report uploads
- A full history of all your tests
- Comparison of markers over time
- Health timeline — the overall picture of your tests and changes
- Biomarker map — a visual map of markers across reports
- PDF export for your doctor
- A doctor-ready summary that is easy to share at the appointment
