Which antibody tests for Graves?

[Homeboy2020]

As per the title, which antibodies should i get specifically tested for graves?

TSH receptor?

Thyroid peroxidase?

Thyroglobulin?

Had these tested a year ago together with a full thyroid test set and TSH receptor and Thyroglobulin were high. Am currently on 5mg Carbi and all other thyroid reults ok but struggling to get to a GP so want to use Medicheck. Just need to know the specific test

Thanks

The usual test for Graves' disease is a TSH Receptor Antibody test usually abbreviated to TRAb. These antibodies can be stimulating (causing hyper) or blocking (causing hypo) and occasionally a TSH Stimulating Antibody (TSI) test is done although not very often. TSH Blocking Antibody (TBI) tests are not commercially available and so are never done.

TRAb is the usual test for Graves'.
