Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of PPT depend on the phase of disease and include:
- Some patients with PPT may have elevated concentration of Serum Anti-TPO abs, which is usually suggestive of future hypothyroidism.
| lab values | Hyperthyroid phase | Hypothyroid phase |
|---|---|---|
| Serum TSH | less than 3.5 | more than 3.5 |
| Serum free T4 | elevated but may be normal | decreased |
| Serum free T3 | elevated or normal | decreased |
| Serum Anti-TPO anitbodies | postive | postive |
| Serum TSH-receptor abs | negative or positive with coexisting Grave's disease | negative |
| Serum ESR | normal | normal |
| Serum thyroglobulin Tg | elevated in early phase of destruction of follicles | elevated in early phase of destruction of follicles |
| Radio-iodine uptake | decreased | decreased |
