A member asked:
I have thyroid goiter with positive thyroid antibodies; eurothyroid. does this mean have autoimmune d/o?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Euthyroid means that at the moment you do not have biochemical hypo or hyperthyroidism. Not everyone with positive thyroid antibodies develops autoimmune thyroid disease. However, given that we know that your antibodies are positive, i would have your thyroid tests monitored regularly. How often depends on your doctors opinion. I monitor people like you twice early.
