anti peroxidase
by mom_of_five, Sep 05, 2007 03:38PM
I have recently had some blood tests done. One of which showed a slightly elevated thyroid. I had it retested and then it had showed a normal tsh, but my anti peroxidase was 78.1 and the levels are suppose to be 0-3.9. Can you please tell me what this means. I have been feeling absolutely terrible and cannot get out of bed in the morning, even with like 8 hours of sleep. Can you please help me? Thanks.

78.1 is not all that high. I have seen them in their 1000s
Levels of TPO Ab's can also be found in women with no thyroid problems.
TPO Abs will rise if you've had vaccines or are being exposed to something you're allergic to, such as eating gluten when you have gluten sensitivity.
TPO Antibodies may occur in organ-specific autoimmune diseases, including pernicious anemia, Addison's disease, type I diabetes mellitus , polyglandular endocrine failure syndromes etc.
Pernicious anemia, addison's disease, diabetes mellitus
Sjögren syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and pernicious anemia are sometimes positive for TPOAb.
Therefore levels are the dominating factor for autoimmune/antibodies.
