Q: what does it mean to have 91 for thyroid peroxidase antibodies, <1 for thyroglobulin antibodies, tsh 4.44, and t3, (liothyronine) total 72; no symptoms?

Depends on lab range: Likely subclinical hypothyroidism: when TSH is above normal and FT4/FT3 or T3/T4 are normal. This condition is typically caused by immune damage (hashimotos thyroiditis) to the thyroid, evidenced by your elevated thyroid peroxidase ab test. This results in a 2-4% per year risk of becoming overtly hypothyroid and 33-55% lifetime risk. https://www.thyroid.org/hashimotos-thyroiditis Be well, Dr. W

Q: 40 yr female. total thyroidectomy in 2015 for graves disease and hashimoto's. recently my blood work indicated a thyroid peroxidase antibodies level of 11. ths still at .01 all other thyroid levels in normal range. wbc down to 3.4?

: I hope you're cared for by a thyroidologist or endocrinologist. You had a very rare combination of both Graves disease which causes hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's disease which causes hypothyroidism. Your TSH is abnormally low indicating high thyroid activity??from thyroid supplement. Both of your thyroid disorders are autoimmune disorders. A lowish wbc can be from an autoimmune process

Q: hx of papillary thyroid cancer, 13 months post tt and 11 months post rai. blood work done recently shows elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies at 36, and my tsh is rising, now at 2.87. what could this mean? possibility of recurrence?

: Need more details and issue to discuss with your local team. Could mean you are moving to hypothroidism and may eventually need to take some. This cancer tends to run in families so alter all in your family and do family tree of thyroid issues. antibodies suggest Hashimoto's as well which also runs in families.

Q: tsh w/reflex to ft4 level is low at .07 t4, free level is with in range at 1.5 thyroid peroxidase antibodies level high at 18 i had my thyroid removed 9 months ago due to cancer and am taking levothyroxin 125. with my latest blood results should i be con

Post op thyroid: Surgery for cancer the replacement thyroxine should be dosed sufficient to keep TSH low to avoid stimulating any tumor remnants. Most Endocrinologists advise suppressing tsh for about 5 years. Thyroglobulin levels and antibodies should also be measured. Your TSH level appears adequately suppressed.

Question 1

what are thyroid peroxidase antibodies?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid antibody: They are made by your own wbcs directed against peroxidase, an enzyme on the thyroid microsome. People with hashimoto's and graves' diseases may have + antibodies to the thyroid peroxidase.

Question 2

had thyroid peroxidase antibodies 24.3 result?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped had you included the normal range for the lab in which the test was done.    
Wish you good health!

Question 3

negative result for thyroid peroxidase antibodies  tpoab .  necessary to test my thyroglobulin antibodies  tgab ?

Accepted Answer

Depends on: Depends on the disease condition you are trying to confirm or rule out.  For example, you should get a tgab done also if grave's disease is suspected.

Question 4

my tsh is at 0.01 l, my thyroid peroxidase antibodies is 155 h, my thyroglobulin antibodies 1000 h, and my thyroglobulin 0.1 l ... what this does mean?

Accepted Answer

: A TSH which is this low can indicate Graves disease, a type of hyperthyroidism resulting in high levels of thyroid hormone (T3 or T4) which can cause a number of symptoms. Get a referral to an endocrinologist for guidance.

Question 5

what does it mean when thyroid peroxidase antibodies 50.2 iu/ml? 
thyroglobulin antibodies 18.0 iu/ml?

Accepted Answer

Not much by itself: Thyroid antibodies are most helpful if you have a low free T4 and a high TSH indicating hypothyroidism which is most often due to autoimmune thyroid inflammation.  If those tests are normal you need no treatment but your high antibodies suggest you have an increased risk of developing hypothyroidism somewhere down the road, but many people with antibodies never develop a thyroid problem.

Question 6

my tsh is 0.01,t4free is1.6,t3 (liothyronine) free is 4.5,thyroglobulin antis is1,thyroid peroxidase antibodies is 25. what abt my thyroid results?

Accepted Answer

Suppressed TSH: The lab result needs to be correlated with clinical symptoms.

Question 7

what does it mean to have 91 for thyroid peroxidase antibodies,  <1 for thyroglobulin antibodies, tsh 4.44, and t3, (liothyronine) total 72; no symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Depends on lab range: Likely subclinical hypothyroidism: when TSH is above normal and FT4/FT3 or T3/T4 are normal. This condition is typically caused by immune damage (hashimotos thyroiditis) to the thyroid, evidenced by your elevated thyroid peroxidase ab test.
