Hi guys, I had a few questions in relation to the thyroid gland and some results I had from a time back (approx. 2 years ago).
My question relations specifically to thyroid antibodies. On the test there were 2 types: 1. Thyroglobulin antibodies and 2. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies.
My results were as follows:
Thyroglobulin antibodies <15 (<60)
Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies 35 (<60)
I'm looking for an interpretation of these results. Does everybody have these antibodies at some level? Or do only some people have these antibodies?
If it is only some people who have the antibodies, does this mean the people that have them need to be wary of thyroid issues especially in the context of pfs?
And finally - if the thyroid has been under pressure for some time and potentially been attacking itself with these antibodies, can it heal itself fully and produce normal levels of thyroid afterwards?
Thanks in advance guys.
(For completeness, my other thyroid results were as follows:
Free T4 - 15.1 ( 9 - 25)
TSH - 2.85 (0.5 - 5)
Free T3 - 5.5 (3.5 - 6.5)
RT3 - 216 (170 - 450))
