Test results antibodies- Grave's?
by fen8, Jul 01, 2008 06:37PM
Hi,
I had the antibodies test and I was expecting it to be high to indicate Grave's but it doesn't seem to be so. I saw a great chart at the hospital that lists what the combination of results mean, but I haven't found it anywhere else.
Is it always high when it's Grave's, or can it be normal? Would these results indicate something other than Grave's?
Results:
TSH: LOW .01 range: .30-5.5
FreeT4: HIGH 100 range 11-22
FreeT3: HIGH 30 range 4.0-7.8
Anti-THyroid Peroxidase: NORMAL 18 range <35 kU/L
Thanks!

Doesn't look like they ran it. The Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase is also called TPOab. It's good that you tested negative for it, but that doesn't rule out Grave's Disease.
Are you taking anti-thyroid meds to lower the T4/T3?
Thanks
