Laboratory Findings

Thyroid hormones

• Increased Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• Decreased Free T3 and Free T4
• TSH may be decreased in the transient hyperthyroid state.

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.
