Service Providers for Anti Thyroid Ab
The Anti-Thyroid Ab test measures the presence of antibodies against the thyroid gland, specifically thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg) antibodies. These antibodies are often elevated in autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves' disease. A positive result indicates that the immune system is attacking the thyroid, which may lead to thyroid dysfunction, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. The test is performed with a blood sample, and risks are minimal, typically involving slight discomfort during the blood draw. It helps in diagnosing thyroid disorders and assessing autoimmune thyroid conditions.
