Test Details
Anti-TPO antibodies reflect an autoimmune reaction in which the body targets an enzyme essential for producing thyroid hormones. Elevated Anti-TPO levels are commonly associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto’s disease or chronic thyroid inflammation. Measuring these antibodies helps determine the cause of thyroid imbalance, assess long-term thyroid function, and predict the likelihood of future thyroid decline.
