Lifeline Laboratory08 Feb, 2023Health

Testing for thyroid antibodies, such as thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO), is primarily ordered to help diagnose anautoimmune thyroid disease and to distinguish it from other forms of thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid autoantibodies develop when a person's immune system mistakenly targets components of the thyroid gland or thyroid proteins, leading to chronic inflammation of the thyroid (thyroiditis), tissue damage, and/or disruption of thyroid function. One or more of the following tests may be performed to help establish a diagnosis of and/or monitor an autoimmune thyroid disorder: Address H-11, Green Park Extension, New Delhi - 110 016 Contact Us Mobile: +91 -8595211501 Tel : 011 49 57 57 57 [email protected]
