A member asked:
Dx w/ hypothyroid & on synthroid. just got tpo test done and came back normal (no antibodies). what could be cause of my hypo then if not autoimmune?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary: The negative TPO means that the problem is not from a known autoimmune process, and the problem is more likely from a primary thyroid or pituitary failure
