Yes that definition is correct, I don't know what you mean by reading too much into it but I believe SeasideSusie advised you similarly in your post of 16 days ago. It might be useful to go back to that thread and re-read the detailed advice and explanations she gave you. Put simply, to understand what your TGAb result result means, you have to also consider all other associated factors and test results, including any other elevated antibody results such as TPO. For instance, if your FT3 and FT4 were very elevated, and your TSH very low or suppressed it might be signposting you to autoimmune hyperthyroidism; if your thyroid hormones were very low and your TSH elevated, your TGAb result might be signposting you to autoimmune hypothyroidism; and if you were euthyroid, the TGAb result might be indicating other underlying factors. I've not studied your previous results to know which, if any scenario applies to you; so perhaps read through the replies in your previous posts to remind yourself of what advice was given.

Active B12,81.3 pmol/L 37.5-188

Ferritin 57 ug/L 44-150

Folate 13.8 nmol/L 8.83-40

FT3 3.98 pmol/L 3.1-5

TSH 2.8 miu/L 2.5-4.3

TgAb 350 KUL out of range 0-300

TPOAb 12.4 Kiu/L 0-34

T4 104 nmol/L 66-181

FT4 17.1 pmol/L 12-17-22

vit D (25-hydroxy) 23 nmol/L

Your results from 16 days ago.

Your TgAB isn't really high enough to indicate Hashi's, and your TOab is low, so doesn't look as if you have Hashi's.

This is the link to your post with the results, and all SeasideSusie's helpful comment and advice:

Well, we don't really know. Where Hashi's is concerned, you can't prove a negative. Some people have Hashi's without ever having raised antibodies. But, have you ever had a period of hyperthyroidism, with low TSH and high Frees?

You'll just have to keep an eye on things and see how they develop, I'm afraid. Sorry.
