General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

* As per the standard pathologic guidelines, the Hashimoto diagnosis
need specific measurements as
- TSH ( thyroid stimulating hormone ) level usually raised
- Free T4 ( available in the tissue ) level usually normal or just below
normal
- ATA ( anti thyroid antibody ) and ATGA ( anti thyroglobulin antibody

Feel free to post further doubts.
Thank you.
