A member asked:
If i have no thyroid (total thyroidectomy 6.5 yrs ago) then how can i have high thyroglobulin antibodies? (tgab 332 , range is 0-6) and high thyroid peroxidase? (tpo ab 24.4, range is 0-4). thanks for any help.

What was the reason for thyroidectomy and did you have a total thyroidectomy? Are you taking thyroid supplement? What was the reason thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase checked with a history of total (?) thyroidectomy?

You do not need to have thyroid to have anti-thyroid antibodies. The antibodies are not a cause for concern. You doctor should monitor your TSH level to ensure and adequate dose of replacement medication.

Positive for thyroid paroxidase antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies. What does this mean? Had pap thyroid cancer in 2008 with thyroidectomy
Is it possible recurrence of thyroid cancer if thyroglobulin came back positive but antibodies are decreasing? Had full thyroidectomy 2 years ago.
Thyroglobulin Antibody is high, 7.8. Thyroid Peroxidase also high, 55. All other TSH, T3, T4 are normal range. Doctor does not seemed concerned at all? Am I at risk for thyroid cancer?
