If you are asking about the standard antibody tests uses to help decide if you have Hashimoto's, then they are:

Thyroglobulin antibodies

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies

There are various ways of writing them such as TPOab and TGab - somewhat inconsistently used.

Other antibodies can be important in, for example, Graves', so I might not have answered your question.

What you have to do is ask the surgery for a print-out of your blood test results, complete with the ranges, and post on a new question for members to comment.
