Benefits of getting both antibodies tested?

I've had my TPO antibodies tested (finally) the result was 75 IU/ml - should be <60.

Is there any benefit to having the TG antibodies tested as well? I'm pretty sure my GP would do it if I asked.

I'm hypo and on 225mcg of Levo, see previous posts for other results.

Thanks in advance

If your TPOab is over-range, then you have Hashi's. And, knowing that, there's no point in doing the TgAB. It wouldn't add anything to your knowledge. :)

That's pretty much what I was thinking but I'm only just figuring all this stuff out.

Thank you!
