What can cause high thyroid antibodies with normal tsh?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thyroid antibodies: Hashimotos disease - its an autoimmune disorder causing thyroid inflammation. An ultrasound should be performed to detect thyroid nodules. It can cause thyroid dysfunction ie TSH abnormalities over time.

I'm 22 years old and recently I had a thyroid echo, where it turned out that I have a 1 cm hypoechoic nodule. TSH values are normal, but thyroglobulin antibodies are above 2400 Iu/ml.What does it mean to have such a high number of these antibodies?
