Early thyroid issues: A high thyroid peroxidase level is a sign that your body may be attacking your thyroid. Over time, this can cause your thyroid to shut down and you to become hypothyroid.

Hashimoto's : An elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies level indicates that you have hashimoto's thyroid disease- an autoimmune disease where an antibody in your body starts attacking your thyroid. Over time, this will lead to hypothyroidism. If your thyroid level is ok right now, you will need periodic monitoring to catch the time when you will start needing thyroid replacement.
