Anti Thyroid peroxidase Antibodies (TPO)

The Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibodies test measures the presence of antibodies that target thyroid peroxidase (TPO), an enzyme crucial for thyroid hormone synthesis. Elevated levels of TPO antibodies indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (a leading cause of hypothyroidism) and Graves’ disease (associated with hyperthyroidism). It is often recommended for individuals experiencing thyroid dysfunction symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, swelling in the neck, or irregular heartbeat.
