Thyroid Antibodies Profile
This test profile is used
by physicians in the differential diagnosis of hypothyroidism and thyroiditis,
including Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Thyroid antibody testing
is primarily ordered to help diagnose an autoimmune thyroid disease
and to separate it from other forms of thyroiditis. It may be ordered to help
investigate the cause of an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter) or performed as
a follow-up when thyroid test results such as T3, T4 and TSH are abnormal
indicating thyroid dysfunction
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation
by your physician.
