A member asked:
My tsh is 18 and antibodies are more than 600, what are these antibodies, and why did it increase?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroid: You likely have hashimoto's thyroiditis as the cause of your low thyroid. I assume the antibody you are referring to is tpo antibody. This is simply a marker of the disease. The level is irrelevant. Whether it goes up or down means nothing, and does not need to be checked repeatedly. You need more levothyroxine to bring your TSH level down.

26yo male with TSH- 87 and free T4 - 6 . TPO antibodies over 1000. Doppler ultrasonography revealed increased vascularity of the thyroid gland. Which dose of the Levothyroxine should I start with and do I need more tests? I weigh 65kg?
TPO antibody; 22.8 (normal range less that 9), TSH 2.24 (normal range 0.38 - 5.33), antithyroid antibody 4.2 (normal range less than 4), transferrin sat 18.2% (normal range 20-40%). could these results cause unwanted symptoms? thank you?
What is the definition or description of: TSH antibody?
TSH 2.3 - 2013 5.1 - 05/2016 7.3 - 06/2016 3.9 - 07/2016 FT4 is 12 and FT3 is 6.2 and 5.2. No antibodies. Why it would fluctuate this much? No meds.
Antitgo antibodies are"too low to be detected", antitpo 40, TSH 0.99, ft3 2.64, ft4 1.41.Is that antitpo alone a problem?And tgo too low to be detected?!
