The antibody test for Graves disease -Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI)/Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb)

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies are found raised in Hashimoto's disease

Thank you Seasidesusie, I have Graves though- do I also have Hashimotos?

Apparently you can, it's been mentioned on here a few times lately.

TPO 14.9 0.00-34.00

These results from your other thread, however, do not confirm Hashi's, the result would need to be over range to confirm it.

Thank you again for your replies. 😊

No. TPO is autoimmune thyroiditis (hashimotos). TRab or TSI antibodies are Graves. It is possible to have both Graves and Hashis.

I have high TPO but there has been no mention of Hashimotos. Would there need to be other issues for this to be diagnosed?

Not what you're looking for?
