What Does this thyroid Test Result Mean?

I recently had these results given me thru email. I don t quite understand what the numbers mean. Do I have Hashimoto s or Grave s, or just a precursor to either disease? Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody is 67.2 Higher Than Normal IU/mL (0.0-5.5) Thyroxine Free is 0.92 Lower Than Normal ng/dL (0.93-1.70) Thyrotropin is 3.74 mcIU/mL (0.27-4.20)
