TPOab- thyroid peroxidase antibodies
TGab- thyroglobulin antibodies
The TPOab has three other names, but if you ask any GP to run both antibody tests for Hashimoto's, those are the two that will be run.
The bloodwork to look at your thyroid hormones would be tests for TSH, Free T4, and Free T3. But to see if the problem is an auto-immune problem, you need the TPOab and TGab tests run.
