Experiences with

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO)

But I forgot to ask her about TPO which I was tested for at the end of Oct but not on the last test in December. The levels were then 29. I was never diagnosed with Hadhimotos. Does this level look fine to you? TG was on that test 0.6

I'm going to have nerve tests for sjogrens by neurologist department. I think it's to do with eye lid lag. Gas anyone else gad this test?

One of her tests was for TPO antibodies. She was within the normal range, but had some TPO antibodies. Is this a reasonably normal thing, or is this a harbinger of future hypothyroidism?

Anti TPO 971.8U/ml TRAb 6.9U/L As this was just stated in a letter to my GP there’s no reference range,he does comment that the Anti TPO was strongly positive though,not really too sure why a copy of the results isn’t in my records either.

FT4 - 14.40 (11.50-22.70 ‘normal range’) FT3 - 5.30 (3.50-6.50 ‘normal range’) TSH - 2.46 (0.60-4.80 ‘normal range’) Anti TPO antibody levels - 30 (up to 60 ‘normal’) Anti TPO antibody status - negative Any help/guidance is really appreciated! Thank you!

I am pregnant and have Hashimoto's, and have seen a dramatic decrease in my TPO antibodies, which I think has also made me feel better.

I’ve just been told by my Surgery’s Clinician that my TPO is 310 but a normal reading would be 34. This has scared me somewhat but he is arranging for me to see an Endocrinologist. Can anyone enlighten me please.

Very high TPO antibodies at last test. Waiting to hear back regarding re-starting levo.

My TPO was really elevated by quite a bit. I have recently felt that my hair was falling out a lot again and that my skin was super dry. On the advice here I took the tests from the nhs website where you Pay and do it yourself. So these are the results they say normal. How can that be? All normal?

I was previously prescribed 50mcg levothyroxine due to high tpo antibodies and gynae advice to keep tsh at or below 2.0 due to recurrent miscarriages. I actually took myself off the levothyroxine due to struggling to conceive at all whilst taking it (over 2 years, might have been coincidence?)

Diagnosed Hashimoto. ( Tpo 180. ) December 2021 Hyperthyroidism diagnosed, Graves (TRab antibodies 4.6 ). Currently on Carbimazole. So if this is what happens You are hypothyroid, it's physically impossible for your thyroid to regenerate and you become hypERthyroid.

Anti-tpo low <4 Hi guys, can anyone shed some light on why I might have these results? I’m being treated with Levothyroxine as my TSH was 3.5 and for fertility need around 1. But these immunes were a bit of a shock. Thanks guys

Hi all, I am currently meant to be starting IVF however due to my TSH coming back at 4.6, they are now testing my anti TPO and if this is above 34, then my clinic has suggested that my doctors prescribed me medication, im assuming levothyroxine by the looks if things.

I’m trying to find out if I have thyroid antibodies after discovering an old (2008) blood result of 127 for the tpo test which was never discussed with me or followed up despite hypo thyroid symptoms and having coeliac disease. Thanks

Now I just got my blood test results: Tsh: 4.43 ( 0.35-5.00) T4: 12.1 pmol (9-22) T3: 5.1 ( 2.40-6.00) TPO 577.8 ( increased compared to my previous tests 6 months ago) Also , I am currently having thyroiditis , my thyroid hurts ans it’s pressing on my throat… so it’s just gonna get worse.

My question Can a person who has tpo antibodies close to zero when testing first time,develop to antibodies over a period of time.? First time my tpo ab was 0.24(lab ref less than 35). Then a couple of years later tpo ab 28 (ref range less than 60).

Apparently it can lower TPO antibodies, which in my case, even after removing gluten, dairy and soy, are very high (960). Has anyone tried this?

Does the presence of TPO mean I likely have Hashimoto's?

This is what I have: TPO, Free T4 and T3, TSH, Thyroid antibodies, ferritin, folate, b12, vitamin D, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA levels Do I need to add or remove anything from this list? Thank you so much!

TPO Antibodies 9 U/ml TPO reference interval: <34 U/mL TPO antibody negative. Monitor FT4/TSH annually.
