Service Providers for Anti- TPO Ab
The Anti-TPO Ab (Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) test measures the presence of antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (TPO), an enzyme crucial for thyroid hormone production. Elevated levels of Anti-TPO antibodies are commonly found in autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves' disease. A positive result suggests an immune attack on the thyroid gland, which can lead to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. The test is performed with a blood sample, and the risks are minimal, usually limited to slight discomfort during the blood draw. It is often used to diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor autoimmune thyroid conditions
