Understanding Anti-TPO Antibody(Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) in Tiruvallur
What is Anti-TPO Antibody(Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) in Tiruvallur?
An Anti-TPO Antibody(Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) is a specialized test available at an affordable price in Tiruvallur with Tata 1mg Labs. This test helps detect the presence of antibodies against the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) enzyme that is involved in producing thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) hormones, respectively. The presence of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies is indicative of autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. Early detection of these can help predict the development of thyroid dysfunction, allowing for timely intervention and management.
Doctors may recommend this test when you exhibit symptoms of thyroid disorders, such as fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, temperature sensitivity, or if you have a family history of thyroid diseases. No fasting is required for this test. You may eat and drink normally as per your daily routine.
What does Anti-TPO Antibody(Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) measure?
In autoimmune thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, the immune system produces antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (TPO), an enzyme found in the thyroid gland. An Anti-TPO Antibody(Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) test detects and measures the levels of these anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies in your blood.
TPO is found in the cells of the thyroid follicle and helps produce the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) or triiodothyronine (T3). The presence of anti-TPO antibodies indicates autoimmune activity against the thyroid gland. These antibodies contribute to inflammation and damage to thyroid cells, thus leading to thyroid dysfunction.
