A member asked:
Is a tpoab test a "positive-negative" test? i have a numeral value at 16 with a maximum normal reference range at 34. do i test positive or negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your value is in the normal range. That means the test is negative for abnormally elevated anti-TPO ab. Although most subjects with autoimmune thyroiditis will have, at some point, elevated anti-TPO and/or anti thyroglobulin antibody measurement, normal levels do not rule it out. Furthermore you can have an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) without evidence of autoimmune thyroiditis.
