Overview

Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO)
Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-Tg)
Anti-microsomal antibodies can help obtain an accurate diagnosis.^[1] Earlier assessment of the patient may present with elevated levels of thyroglobulin owing to the transient thyrotoxicosis as inflammation within the thyroid causes damage to the integrity of thyroid follicle storage of thyroglobulin; TSH is concomitantly decreased.^[2]
Diagnosis is made by detecting elevated levels of Anti-TPO antibodies in the serum.
