Thyroid peroxidase antibodies range The typical range for thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) is less than 34 international units per milliliter (IU/mL). A TPOAb level below this threshold is considered normal, indicating no significant autoimmune activity against your thyroid. What if thyroid pero...
The presence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) in serum correlates with the presence of focal thyroiditis in biopsy and postmortem material (Yoshidaet al., 1978) and is thus a reliable marker of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. More than 90% of the patients with Hashimoto׳s thyro...

I believe that antibodies can fluctuate in response to triggers (some as common as stress), and in my exhaustive experience, they can be an incredibly helpful marker for tracking disease progression. The most common antibodies in Hashimoto’s are thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO antibodies) and...
“The normal thyroid gland retains high selenium concentrations even under conditions of inadequate selenium supply and expresses many of the known selenocysteine-containing proteins. Among these selenoproteins are the glutathione peroxidase, deiodinase, and thioredoxine reductase families of enzymes. Adequate...
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb): The type of antibody is detected in 95% of people with Hashimoto's and around 70% of those with Graves' disease.7A high TPOAb is also seen after childbirth in people withpostpartum thyroiditis.
Autoimmune thyroid disease was ruled out by serum antithyroglobulin and antithyroperoxidase antibody tests and by thyroid ultrasonography at finding of the nodule. All patients included had negative serum antibody test results and thyroid imaging normal for typical autoimmune patterns. Clinical, laboratory...
Maintaining normal thyroid function is crucial in pregnancy, yet thyroid dysfunction and the presence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) affect 0.5% to 18% of pregnant women. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of eight thyroid traits, including two thyroid-related horm...
Interestingly, a 2004 study found an association between the presence of an anxiety or mood disorder, and the presence of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies. (4) Because selenium can reduce thyroid antibodies, I believe this is why it can help with thyroid-related anxiety. Many of my clients...
