Sylvain to Graveslady antibody tests

My results came in today.

The antimicrosomal antibodies have been identified as abnormal.

Results are 1:6400.

No clue what this means.

Now FT4 is low, TSH high normal or high.

What else do they need for a diagnosis?

Is it hypothyroidism?

what were the TSH numbers and Lab references? ANA indicates an auto immune problem.

Actually,

the test i used is just another name.  i confirmed with the lab and my endocrinologist.  They are just called different because i am in Canada.

Thanks for your input.

This test goes by a confusing number of names, including thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody (TPOAb) test, thyroid peroxidase autoantibody test, antimicrosomal antibody test and antithyroid microsomal antibody test.

You may find this information on www.medicinenet.com

Yes, as I mentioned and referred to the TPO AB in my above post, I guess you didn't read it.  And the statement still stands.  

Just because there are antibodies present, doesn't necessarily mean you have a thyroid disorder Hypo/Hashi. Levels predominate over antibodies.

Good Luck - Stay Healthy.
