What’s wrong with high thyroid antibodies?

  The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine organ in the body and the main autoantibodies are thyroid stimulating receptor antibodies, thyroid microsomal antibodies, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies, and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. If thyroid antibodies are too high, it is usually caused by Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphatic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune thyroid disease in which the patient’s thyroid immune function is disturbed and the patient mistakenly produces too many antibodies to fight against his or her own thyroid cells, usually showing a significant increase in anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. The anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies are usually significantly higher.  The long-term development of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis may cause damage to the body’s thyroid function, resulting in necrosis and apoptosis of thyroid cells and a gradual decrease in thyroid function, leading to problems in the reproductive, digestive, cardiovascular, and metabolic systems. Patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis need to take medication for a long time, and once the medication is stopped, the disease tends to recur.  Hashimoto’s thyroiditis modern medicine generally does not use any medication, or in severe cases there is no special treatment other than taking eugenol therapy. So the use of Chinese herbal medicine for evidence-based treatment will achieve good results.  So if you find a high thyroid antibody value in your physical examination, you must do a regular thyroid review and take treatment in time.
