Antithyroid Antibodies (Anti TPO And Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody)

The Antithyroid Antibodies (Anti TPO And Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody) Panel is a diagnostic test used to measure the amount of antithyroid thyroglobulin and antithyroid peroxidase antibodies in the blood. This panel includes two types of tests: antithyroid antibodies test and anti thyroid peroxidase antibody test. These antibodies are used for the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. Positive thyroid autoantibody levels in patients with high or slightly elevated thyrotropin levels predict the future development of more profound hypothyroidism. Patients with post-partum thyroiditis with persistently elevated thyroid antibody levels have an increased likelihood of permanent hypothyroidism.

Thyroid diseases can present with the following symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Weight gain or loss
• Muscle weakness
• Sensitivity to cold or heat
• Changes in heart rate
• Dry skin
• Hair loss
• Swelling in the neck
• Mood swings
• Menstrual irregularities

The Antithyroid Antibodies (Anti TPO And Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody) panel requires a blood sample to be taken from the patient. The blood sample is usually collected by a healthcare professional through a standard venipuncture procedure. It involves inserting a needle into a vein, usually in the arm, and drawing a small amount of blood into a collection tube. The process is quick and relatively painless.

Once the blood sample is collected, it is sent to the laboratory for analysis. The laboratory technicians will use specific tests to detect the presence of Anti thyroglobulin antibodies and anti-TPO antibodies in the blood. The test results will determine the levels of these antibodies present in the blood and help in diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases.

If the Antithyroid Antibodies (Anti TPO And Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody) panel results come back positive, it indicates the presence of autoimmune thyroid diseases. The treatment options may vary depending on the specific condition diagnosed. Generally, treatment includes medication to regulate thyroid hormone levels, such as synthetic thyroid hormone replacement therapy or antithyroid medications. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove part or all of the thyroid gland.
