It is antibodies that attack the thyroid and they determine whether you have Graves Disease (Hyperthyroidism or Hashi's) most times.
My antibodies were very high too before RAI but have now gone down to the stage that they are under the reference range limit.
The antibodies tests show if they are attacking the thyroid and if causing inflammation too as some dont have Graves or Hashi;'s...just Thyroiditis.
When the antibodies are very low (within range) they classify you as being in remission.
Hope that helps
