Antibodies explained here thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_...

Yours are negative.

Thanks but still non the wiser. From what i understand is that high Antibodies show that i would be suffering from an autoimmune problem. (Which i think i am. Churg strauss syndrome). If mine is <10 Below normal then i am ok but why would a test show lower than a normal reading

I have never heard of Churg strauss syndrome so I have no idea what antibodies are involved with it. Have you asked your doctor?

[elvera111 in reply to SeasideSusie]

The point i was trying to make was Any kind of syndrome would show up as high antibodies wouldnt it. Why are mine so low

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to elvera111]

Each autoimmune disorder will have it's own specific antibodies.

For example, Thyroid Peroxidase are specific to the thyroid so wouldn't be involved with anything else.

As I said, I don't know what antibodies are specific to Churg Strauss syndrome - has your GP tested for it?
