My mom had her thyroid removed 2 years ago and now antibodies have been found in her body, what does this mean and is this life threatening?

No problem: If you mean anti thyroid antibodies this is nothing to worry about. It is most likely a sign of hadhimotos disease which was the cause of her thyroid problem originally. If you mean a different antibody pmeSe re ask the question.
