Some normal, asymptomatic people can have detectable levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies. As much as 5 to 10 percent of the general population would have positive results on this laboratory test, if checked. Although many times these people do not have any symptoms, they could be at risk ...
In this lesson you will discover what thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies are and what can be learned from them. You will also learn some about the role of thyroid peroxidase in the body. What Is Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO)? Have you ever gotten a cut or scrape? How did you treat it?

TPO is also a major autoantigen in autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). In this review, we summarize the ...
There are two types of thyroid antibodies associated with Hashimoto’s: thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO antibodies) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TG antibodies). These are markers of how aggressive the attack is on your thyroid gland, and can be used as a marker to track the progress of your...
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody High Symptoms High levels of these antibodies indicate the autoimmune condition Hashimoto’s disease is affecting the thyroid. These are produced by your immune system to actually attack your thyroid. These are VERY important and should always be tested when you’re getting...
Additionally, testing for antibodies to an enzyme called thyroid peroxidase (known as a TPO test) can help detect the presence of a thyroid-related autoimmune condition such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. Diagnosis of a thyroid condition isn’t based solely on one specific test...

The presence of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies indicates a likely autoimmune cause of thyroid conditions...

Generally, Hashimoto's disease is diagnosed using laboratory testing. Decreasedthyroid functionand increased thyroid antibody levels (thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies) are usually adequate to establish a diagnosis. TREATMENT "Treatment for Hashimoto's disease often consists of thyroid hormone re...
