Thyroid
Anti Thyroid Peroxidase
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO Ab) are autoantibodies directed against thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme involved in thyroid hormone production. Testing is used to support the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and to assess the risk of developing thyroid dysfunction.
The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
