Can anyone explain my result, still waiting for the Dr to call.

Is there anyone who could help explain my results? Thanks

Your thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO) are positive, indicating you have autoimmune thyroiditis, or Hashimoto's.

Norton,

Tissue transglutamine result is negative for coeliac disease. 

Thyroid peroxidase is positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's).  Although you are negative or coeliac it can still be worth adopting 100% gluten-free diet as many Hashi patients find it helps reduce Hashi symptoms and antibodies.

FT4 and FT3 are within normal range although FT3 is quite low in range.  Was TSH tested?

It also says that the negative TTg result only indicates not having coeliac disease so long as the patient has been eating gluten.  Therefore if it shows negative but you haven;t been eating gluten anyway, then it means nothing really.
