Risk for thyroid: deficiency. 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. Having said that, the presence of antibodies to thyroid constituents implies autoimmune disease of the thyroid and if you are not already hypothyroid you are at risk of developing thyroid deficiency.

Lets review your que: They are tests ordered since your Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was high depending on your T4 and T3 (liothyronine) results these were ordered to help classify your thyroid disease. Higher antibodies point to an autoimmune process and will need to be further evaluated
