A-TPO

Anti-thyroid peroksidase (A-TPO) antistoffer er proteiner produsert av immunsystemet. De angriper ved et uhell tyroid peroksidase, et enzym som er avgjørende for produksjonen av skjoldbruskhormoner. Høye nivåer av A-TPO-antistoffer kan indikere autoimmune skjoldbruskkjertelsykdommer, slik som Hashimotos tyreoiditt eller Graves’ sykdom.

Beskrivelse

Who should get tested for A-TPO antibodies?

Individuals with symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, a family history of thyroid disease, or other autoimmune conditions should consider A-TPO testing.

What does a high A-TPO level indicate?

High A-TPO levels often indicate an autoimmune thyroid disorder, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease, where the immune system attacks the thyroid.

Is it possible to have high A-TPO levels without having a thyroid disorder?

Rarely, individuals may have elevated A-TPO levels without clear signs of thyroid disease, but it usually warrants further monitoring and evaluation.

Can A-TPO levels change over time?

Yes, A-TPO levels can fluctuate, especially in response to thyroid disease progression or treatment.
