Yes, standard: blood test is antithyroid microsomal antibodies (also called anti-TPO), thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAbs) and thyroglobulin antibodies. Mainly the first. Further studies would be thyroid hormone levels and examination of the thyroid probably involving biopsy.

Let doctor pick: It would be prudent to consult a doctor before you get the tests done as you may not need any. In case you do need, your doctor should pick the tests, based on your thyroid function test results and family history.
