Laboratory tests and results are shown in MyKanta on a separate Laboratory tests page. Here’s how to find them:
Log in to MyKanta at kanta.fi. You can identify yourself using online banking codes, for instance.
Once you are logged in to MyKanta, select the ‘Terveystiedot’ (Health information) section in the menu and then in the list that opens, select
- ‘Laboratoriotutkimukset’ (Laboratory tests) to view your test results
- ‘Kuvantamistutkimukset’ (Medical imaging) to view X-ray, MRI or other imaging examination results.
There are two ways in which health care services record test results. Some results may be listed on the page by the name of the test and some by the date of the visit. This means that your results may appear in one or two different tables, so please read all the way to the bottom of the page. Please note that there may be results on multiple pages.
Frequently asked questions about test results
The time taken for results to appear may vary depending on the test. Your results will be visible in MyKanta once they have been recorded in Kanta Services by the health care service provider.
In most cases, test results are available in MyKanta within a few days. Sometimes it may take longer for the results to appear. Health care services are often able to tell patients when their results will be visible in MyKanta already during their visit.
There may be a delay in completing the test results or in the recording and storing of data in Kanta. For example, sometimes the doctor may wish to discuss the results with you before making them available for you to view in MyKanta.
If you cannot find your results by test date, please check whether you can find new results under another date. The test results may have been saved under the visit when the doctor wrote the referral for tests.
The information has been made easier to find by showing the date(s) of information edited during the past month in red.
If your results do not appear, contact the unit where your tests were carried out, such as your local health clinic.
Health care services have been able to record data in Kanta from 2013 onwards. You can see the results of examinations conducted in both public and private healthcare services from MyKanta since the healthcare unit you have visited has deployed the Kanta Services.
Click on the date of the tests to see the reference values for your test results in MyKanta. In the table that opens, you will see reference values if they were saved along with the test results by health care services.
Only reference values that are saved by health care services along with the test data can be shown in MyKanta. If the reference values are not shown in MyKanta, please request them from your health care unit.
