A member asked:
I have graves disease for 5 yrs. why would my dr.order thyrotropin recepttor antibodies just when i am startingto feel better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti-thyrotropin: Autoimmune diseases are often caused by antibodies that bind to a self component. Binding to a receptor for a hormone could result in inappropriately stimulating that receptor into thinking that it had bound a hormone molecule and this could result in the same effect as if excess hormone was present. Following the antibody level may be helpful in monitoring the activity of the disease.
