Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Riedel's thyroiditis include elevated ESR, mild elevation of thyroid peroxidase antibodies and occasionally elevated TSH levels.

Laboratory Findings

• Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Riedel's thyroiditis include:
  • Elevated ESR
  • Mildly elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies
  • Mildly elevated white blood cells

• Some patients with Riedel's thyroiditis may have elevated levels of TSH (in one-third cases), which is usually suggestive of hypothyroidism.
