Antibody question

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to all this so I'm just starting to try and figure it all out! Ive been on 50mcg of Levothyroxine since July and I'm unsure what my levels of anything are other than tsh and one ft4 test and vit d (of which I was deficient) so I have ordered an advanced thyroid profile, iron/ferritin profile and active b12 tests from blue horizon home tests.

I have no idea if I have antibodies or not which is one of the reasons for doing advanced profile so I was wondering if you're already on levo do the antibodies still show up if you have them?

Thanks in advance.

Victoria.

Yes the anti-bodies will show up in the blood test :-)

Thanks Marz, glad to hear the levo won't stop them from showing up if I have them.
