TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase) Antibody Microsomal Antibody, Serum
Detection of thyroid peroxidase antibodies supports autoimmune thyroid disease diagnosis. It is commonly elevated in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Used in thyroid evaluation.
An anti-TPO test measures the antibodies against the thyroid gland. In healthy individuals, antibodies attack foreign substances, like bacteria and viruses. However, when something goes wrong, these antibodies begin to attack the body’s own tissues and cells. In the case of thyroid diseases, these antibodies begin to attack the thyroid gland, affecting its functions. The test is often prescribed if you’re already diagnosed with thyroid issues such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. An anti-TPO test measures the levels of autoimmune antibodies in your body according to the antibody per litre or millilitre of blood in international units (IU/mL). It is a simple blood test that doesn’t require you to move out of the comfort of your home. Simply schedule the test on your preferred date and time and our expert phlebotomist will reach your doorstep to collect the sample. Book an anti-TPO test now.
