Any reason for a high level for thyroid peroxidase antibody other than hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: A positive tpo antibody merely means that you may have hashimoto's disease. The wickham and framingham studies show that people with + abs will eventually get hypothyroid. + abs are also seen in patients with hyperthyroidism due to graves" disease.
