Hello All - When I was test in Feb 2017 my anti thyroid microtonal ab wa 722 iu / ml. I had no result against anto- too. In sept if same year I got my bloods tested by medichecks - my thyroglobulin antibody tgab was 620 and my tpo- ab 222 iu/ml. Can someone explain the significance of each - are microsomal and anti- tpo the same thing and whether my tpo antibodies have reduced - thank you and best wishes Chris

Microsomal antibodies are TPO antibodies.
"my anti thyroid microtonal ab wa 722 iu / ml
my thyroglobulin antibody tgab was 620 and my tpo- ab 222 iu/ml. "
Yes, on the Medichecks test your TPO antibodies had reduced. Don't forget that antibodies fluctuate though, they may not be the same now as they were in September.
SeasideSusie,
Quite right.
The term microsomal was used when the substance they are antigens to was unidentified. Thyroid Peroxidase was identified a long time ago - and most references now are to Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies rather than microsomal.
I am always concerned when we see reference to "microsomal antibodies". Are they that far out of date?
