Hi

I want to know much time TPOAb level in Hashimoto thyroid disease will require to reach upto 1300 level

Kindly any expert reply as soon as possible

Hello Barkharajpal,

Do you mean how long it should take for TPO level to reach 1300?

Do you have your blood test results with ranges?

[humanbean]

There is no guarantee that your TPOAb level will ever get up to 1300, and most people wouldn't want it to get that high. They struggle instead to get it as low as possible.

Your question is unusual. I've never seen anyone ask it before. Can you tell us why you need this answer?

Also, if you have any thyroid function test results can you post them and the reference ranges please.

The things that are important are

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

Free T4

Free T3

TPO Antibodies

Tg Antibodies

Your question is akin to asking how long is a piece of string...

Level depends on many factors, including environmental, diet and other health conditions. It didn't happen overnight, likely it's been a few years at least.

I should say this site is a patient to patient forum, and is not run by experts in thyroid disease.

Have you been told by your health professional that your antibodies need to be that high before you get treatment or something along those lines. I'm sure that antibody levels fluctuate but not everybody will get levels that high. However, no matter how high or low, they will still attack and destroy the thyroid over time.

The aim of Levothyroxine is to lower TSH and to LOWER antibodies too

Most patients with Hashimoto's (the cause of high antibodies) find that strictly gluten free diet helps to slowly lower TPO antibodies

TG antibodies seem to correlate with TSH. So a low TSH will reduce TG antibodies

If you have raised antibodies you have Hashimoto's

Likely to need Thyroid hormone replacement

Can you add your TSH, FT4 and FT3 results and ranges

Essential to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12. Always get actual results and ranges. Post results when you have them, members can advise

Hashimoto's affects the gut and leads to low stomach acid and then low vitamin levels

Low vitamin levels affect Thyroid hormone working

Poor gut function can lead leaky gut (literally holes in gut wall) this can cause food intolerances. Most common by far is gluten

According to Izabella Wentz the Thyroid Pharmacist approx 5% with Hashimoto's are coeliac, but over 80% find gluten free diet helps significantly. Either due to direct gluten intolerance (no test available) or due to leaky gut and gluten causing molecular mimicry (see Amy Myers link)

But don't be surprised that GP or endo never mention gut, gluten or low vitamins. Hashimoto's gut connection is very poorly understood

Changing to a strictly gluten free diet may help reduce symptoms, help gut heal and slowly lower TPO antibodies

Ideally ask GP for coeliac blood test first
