Hashimotos

[flo-jo100]

Hello I’m getting a little confused. To have Hashi’s do both antibodies have to be raised. My peroxidaise were never raised but my thyroglobulin were but I was told I had Hashimotos.

They don't both have to be, no. But, the Thyroglobulin need to be very high to indicate Hashi's, where as with the TPO, they only need to be slightly over the top of the range. If Thyroglobulin ab are only slightly over-range, that could be due to several other things.

Did you also have an Ultrasound scan of your Thyroid that showed Thyroiditis?
