Thyroid uptake scan results

Uptake at four hours is 7% and at 25 hours is 19% which is within the normal range.  
Uptake throughout the right lobe appears to be homogeneous. There is relatively increased uptake in the lower pole of the left  
     lobe.  No cold nodules demonstrated
   25-hour uptake of I-123 is within the normal range. Possible hot nodule in the lower pole of the left lobe.  Uptake within the right lobe appears homogeneous.  No cold nodules demonstrated

Should I schedule a visit with doctor?

What prompted the uptake scan?  Have you had thyroid function tests - Free T4, Free T3 and TSH?

Have you had a thyroid ultrasound?  

Do you know if you have Hashimoto's or Graves Disease?  

Uptake is relatively uniform throughout the thyroid except for that lower left pole, which would be that possible hot nodule.

It doesn't say if you have multiple nodules or just the one possible hot nodule on left lobe.  Hot nodules are hyperfunctioning and non-cancerous.

Do they say what the normal range is?  Ranges can vary from one facility to another.  

Do you have symptoms of a thyroid condition?  If so, what are they?
