Just got the ANA results which was negative. I haven't had a comment from my dr about it.
She stated previously she would be apprehensive to diagnose an autoimmune disease with a negative ANA... I have read somewhere that it is only about half the people with Hashimoto's that has positive ANA?
Or does this mean the possibility of Hashimoto's is less and leaning more towards a cancer diagnosis?
I am going to have an ultrasound of my thyroid on the 10th April - I assume to check for cancer, goitre and/or nodules.
Does that all make sense?
How would you interpret above?
(I have had lots of other test done - listed in previous post - mostly euthyroid with T3 below range once. Low on ferritin despite supplements)
Waiting time is frustrating.
Thanks all

Not much help as I don't think I've had an ANA test but I've tested positive for TgAb and negative for TPO but this still means hashimotos I was told x
Hi ,just come across this post I too have positive Tgb antibodies but normal tpo antibodies ok so worried as I’ve read that you need vit antibodies raised for Hashimotos but Tgb antibodies alone can be something else I’m so worried what was the outcome of your high Tgb alone ? X
Hello, nothing came out of it for me really. I did show the doctor my blood result previously and she said it just means it's autoimmune. I had another private test recently which still showed the TgB to be too high - over 100 I think but that's better than the almost 400 from before. I assume it's because my dose of levo is better!? Sorry not much help. I have moved so maybe when I have my next blood test at the doctors I will ask them and see what they have to say. Good luck
Thanks so much for your reply,did you have a scan of thyroid? All my thyroid results are ok it’s jsut this Tgb antibodies that’s high it’s really worrying me x
Oh right so are you on thyroid meds? My TSH was super high initially which was how I was diagnosed. I only found out about the antibodies through a medicheck test - the doctors didn't test that at all. I've never had a scan of my thyroid done. Have you spoken with the GP about the results? Do you know how high?
Hi, no I’m not on any meds my thyroid test re were normal with my doctor it’s only because I paid privately through medichecks to have the antibodies tests and found my Tgb high ,I’m so worried about them being high as I’ve heard it can be cancer x
My last check was 190 but the previous was 458 I think. I honestly don't know anything about it besides that it's autoimmune. I would imagine that means for you your thyroid results could get worse. I'm sure there's some research saying if you're having symptoms and have autoimmune disease that that in itself is an argument to take thyroid replacement tablets - I could be wrong. Perhaps post a new post on the forum asking for advice as there are some very knowledgeable people on this forum. I'd speak to your GP about the results if you are worried and are having symptoms for sure. Best wishes and let me know how you get on.
Hi Ive just come across your post, I too hadn’t found via private tests that I have just the Tgb antibodies high I’m so worried,whatbwas the outcome for you ? I hope you are well xx

ANA results question
Anyone with Raynauds?
Thyroid nodules and high TPO
TPO and TGAb antibodies levels?
Rapidly rising TPO Antibodies, should I be worried?
