Tg AB increasing 3 years after thyroidectomy
by cindy27, Jul 24, 2008 11:29AM
I had a complete thyroidectomy three years ago. Subsequently, all annual thyroid tests have been normal. Thyroid antibodies all but disappeared. As of last week's test, they're elevated (flagged "High") and I don't see the endocronologist until next month.
Question: WHERE are thyroid antibodies manufactured (I'm assuming not by the thyroid gland itself?) And while we're on the topic, where/how are other antibodies produced?
Incidently, I was diagnosed with SLE last year and have a positive ANA 1:320 and APL too. Could the Tg AB impact the ANA titer?
Thanks!
