Thyroid Antibodies (Thyroid Peroxidase and Thyroglobulin Antibodies)

The Thyroid Antibodies test measures the levels of two key antibodies—Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb). These antibodies are markers of autoimmune thyroid disorders. Elevated levels can indicate conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease, and the test is used to diagnose and monitor these thyroid conditions.

Sample type:

Serum

Preparation:

You do not need to do anything special to prepare for the sample collection. Fasting is not required for this test.

Test type:

In person or via trained mobile phlebotomist

Biomarkers

Anti-Thyroglobulin IGG
Thyroid Peroxidase AB (TPO)

Symptoms or conditions analyzed by this test

The Thyroid Antibodies test evaluates the presence of antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg), which are markers for autoimmune thyroid disorders. Elevated levels of these antibodies can indicate conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, characterized by symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance, or Graves’ disease, which may present with symptoms like weight loss, rapid heart rate, and heat intolerance. This test is essential for diagnosing and managing autoimmune thyroid diseases and monitoring treatment effectiveness.
