This is regarding the health of my friend, whose blood report indicates hyperthyroidism. I would like to know whether this is a serious condition or a common disorder that can be treated easily, and if it could potentially cause major health problems in the future. He is 31 years old, and his test results show Microsomal TPO is 242.15, Thyroglobulin ATG is 848.47, HbA1C is 5.2, and glucose is 102.54.

High TPO and ATG antibodies indicate autoimmune thyroiditis (likely Hashimotos or Graves). Its treatable, but regular monitoring is needed.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test or Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test

My prospective partner, age 41, says he has hypothyroidism and will be taking medicine lifelong. He is currently on Thyronorm 25 mg. He says it is genetic with half his family having the condition. A test report shows T3 and T4 within range, but TSH was 5.62 with a normal range of 0.35 to 5.5. The latest report from January shows T3 110 ng/dl, T4 9.2 g/dl, and TSH 3.68 IU/ml, all within normal range. The comments suggest that Thyronorm should be continued. Since the report shows that TSH was only slightly out of range subclinically, why does he have to take medicine all his life? Could it be that he has not shared all the reports and is sharing only those that show near normal results? At what levels of TSH is the condition called hypothyroidism and Thyronorm prescribed for life?
