I do not know what my lab work means. It was a Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab <10 IU/mL. Can you tell me what that means?
Thanks

Sometimes things get kind of confusing. I did a search on Thyroid Peroxidase and they said the presence of TP antibodies suggests that the cause of the disease is due to auto immune disorders such as Hashimoto`s thyroiditis. There are quite a few sites for you to browse and see if you can get anything else. Don`t you love it when things aren`t explained?
