Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis usually include increased thyroid stimulating hormone, decreased free T3 and free T4, and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis usually include increased Yhyroid stimulating hormone, decreased free T3 and free T4, and Anti-thyroid peroxidase anntibodies.
Thyroid hormones
- Increased Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Decreased Free T3 and Free T4
- TSH may be decreased in the transient hyperthyroid state.[1]
Thyroid antibodies
- Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) (correlates with the disease severity)
- Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-Tg)
- Anti-microsomal antibodies can help obtain an accurate diagnosis.[2]
