Anti TPO Antibody Test in Begumpet
54+ booked in last 3 daysTest Overview
Thyroperoxidase (TPO) is an enzyme involved in thyroid hormone synthesis. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO) antibodies destroy cells of thyroid gland and cause hypothyroidism. When your immune system unintentionally targets the thyroid gland or its protein constituents, thyroid antibodies form and can result in tissue harm, chronic thyroid inflammation, and/or impairment of thyroid function. These antibodies are hallmark of Hashimoto thyroiditis but can be seen in Graves' disease also. Thyroid peroxidase antibody testing is carried out when it is believed that an autoimmune condition is the root of a thyroid issue.
