What are the thyroid antibodies

There are many kinds of thyroid antibodies. Common thyroid antibodies include anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies, anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, which have different meanings. 1. Antithyroid peroxidase antibody. High anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody suggests that an autoimmune disease, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or diffuse toxic goiter, may have occurred in the thyroid tissue. 2. Antithyroglobulin antibodies. Antithyroglobulin antibodies are a common autoantibody in the serum of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. It is of clinical value in the regression and treatment of thyroiditis, especially Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. 3. Thyrotropin receptor antibodies. Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody, a high value suggests the presence of Graves’ disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, or other diseases. Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies have become the first line of diagnosis for Graves’ disease, with a 98% positive rate in patients with untreated Graves’ disease. Patients with elevated thyroid antibodies are advised to seek prompt medical attention and standardized treatment as prescribed.
