FAQs
The thyroid antibodies that appear most frequently are:
- Antithyroglobulin Antibody or TG Ab
- Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin or TSI Ab
- Antithyroid Peroxidase Antibody or TPO Ab (also known as Antithyroid Microsomal Ab)
It is still possible to have raised levels of all three antibody types and not have any clinical symptoms. This result could indicate that you are at risk of developing a future thyroid condition and you should have follow-up checks to monitor your health.
