Hello , I do an annual private blood test with monitor my health and haven’t tested the antibodies for 4 years . I’ve been feeling really awful again , very achey and tired so want to check this aswell as after having 2 covid jabs and a booster in this time .
Can anyone tell me how to interpret the results ?
Last test looked like this - TPA
TPO then the numbers with this symbol >
Clear as mud to me ! 🤣
Has anyone else felt worse symptoms of thyroid after covid jabs ?
That symbol means 'greater than'. So, I imagine your results was very high, higher than the tests used by the lab were capabel of measuring. So, rather sounds like it's positive for Hashi's. But, you'd have to post the numbers - result and range - to be sure. 
Hi Greygoose ,
It was TG 14.5 < 115
TPO 9.57 <34 this was 4 years ago .
So as these numbers were less than what does it mean ?
Is it only if the numbers are greater ?
There was no range just these numbers 🤗
Well, I'm afraid that above you gave the wrong symbol! lol You put > and it's actaully <, which means less than.
So, that is the range:
Tg antibodies should be less than 115
TPO antibodies should be less than 34
So, what those results mean is that they are negative for Hashi's.
However, that doesn't rule out Hashi's 100%, because antibodies fluctuate all the time. And, some Hashi's people never have over-range antibodies and are diagnosed by ultrasound. So, testing them again, 4 years later, would be a good idea.
Great , Thankyou for your reply. Very helpful.
Oh yes I put the wrong one on didn’t I lol
Makes sense what your saying x
