Understanding TSH Receptor Antibodies in Panipat
What is TSH Receptor Antibodies in Panipat?
The TSH Receptor Antibodies test is a blood test that helps assess the functioning of the thyroid gland. It specifically detects the antibodies that target the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. The presence of these antibodies in the blood may indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases, particularly Graves' disease. The test is typically done when symptoms of a thyroid disorder are present but other thyroid tests are inconclusive, or when a definitive diagnosis is needed to guide treatment related to autoimmune thyroid disorders. This test is widely available at an affordable price in Panipat.
What does TSH Receptor Antibodies measure?
The TSH Receptor Antibodies test measures the presence and levels of specific antibodies known as TSH or Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody. These antibodies bind to the receptors on thyroid cells normally activated by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and their presence usually indicates Grave’s disease, an autoimmune thyroid disorder. In Graves’ disease, an antibody called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) binds to the TSH receptor and mimics the action of TSH. This causes constant stimulation of the thyroid gland, prompting it to release too much thyroid hormone. Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate an autoimmune response against the thyroid gland, which can help diagnose and monitor the relapse of Grave’s disease.
