Can someone help me with results of a Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies test result?

I received my test results on my Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies test and it was 810.4.  I have been leaving messages for my Endocrinologist and he has not returned my calls.  I only saw him once so I don't think he is that responsive  I went to see him for insomnia, weight gain, always being cold, depression, difficulty swallowing, mood swings, etc.  I cannot find any information on what a normal range is for this test.  Does any know?  Or can anyone tell me where to find this information?

Since thyroid test results and associated reference ranges vary from lab to lab, it is important to always compare results to the ranges from that specific lab.  Please post the reference ranges for the tests you listed above.

I just got my thyroid test results and the figures look as follows
FT4 - 7.9
TSH - 35.44
FT3 - 4.2

Throglobulin Antibodies - 865
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies - 649
Anti Nuclear Antibody Titre - 1280

What does it mean for me? Since the acceptable limits are far less, I am concerned for what it means for me? We are also trying for a baby, and my doctor suggested against it, for concerns with the brain development of the foetus.

Can you please suggest what this may mean for me?

Thanks, Diya

Wow!  I have all your symptoms!  My Thyroid Peroxidase AB was 259 iu/ml (<35).  My TSH 8.92 mIU/L (0.40-4.50); my RDW in CBC 15.2% (11-15%); Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total 35 ng/ml (30-100).  I feel terrible!  I'm taking Synthroid 125 mcg; 50,000 IU/wk Vitamin D and I will soon start to take Progesterone SR 25mg daily.  Lupus, RA and Sjogren's antibodies tests came back within normal range.

I'd just like to clarify that your TPOab result was 0.36 (not 36), with a range of 0.0-5.6.  Is that correct?

Some people with Hashi's are TPOab positive, some TGab (thyroglobulin antibodies) and some both.  Apparently, a very small percentage of people with Hashi's test negative to both antibodies.

The next step would be to test TGab.
