Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody generally refers to Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody, an antibody that acts directly on the thyroid hormone receptor on the membrane of thyroid cells.
Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody, also known as TRAb, is an antibody that acts directly on the thyroid hormone receptor on the thyroid cell membranes and belongs to the immunoglobulin IgG, which is a very important indicator for the diagnosis, treatment, and assessment of the prognosis of Graves’ disease, and the positivity of TRAb in patients with Graves’ disease is higher, up to more than 95%.
In addition, TRAb can also be positive in other autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
A visit to the hospital is recommended in the presence of abnormal thyrotropic receptor antibodies.
