Finally got my TRab results

[Mhymer]

I’ve listened to your advice and am starting to take action for myself, I went to see the nurse and today and she give me my blood results for TRab which I think is for graves and it was 2.9

I’ve also had bloods taken for vitamin D , B12-folate-Ferritin as well as my usual thyroid test, so I will have to wait for the results, and I’ve got an eye appointment at the weekend,

TRab is for Graves. They should give you a range with your result which shows what the result should be in a normal person. If my memory serves me right it should be less than 2 or less than 1.75 depending on the lab that did the testing so it seems to indicate Graves but you would need confirmation.

The TRab result only confirms Graves it doesn't give any indication of the how bad you have it.

Your right it says the range is 1.0-1.8 and it also says on it it’s regarded as positive, I didn’t realise that it was only for a positive , I thought how bad it was. Thank you for getting back to me

My TRAb came back as 32 range 0 to 0.9. When I asked my endo about chances of medication providing a remission I will stay in he suggested it was less likely due to high TRAb results. Obviously I don't really know but that was just my experience x
