This test is aslo known as Thyroid Peroxidase, TPO, Microsomal Antigen, Anti-TPO Antibodies, Thyrotropin Receptor Antibodies, TRAbs, Stimulating Antibodies, Thyroid-Stimulating Antibodies, Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulins, TSI, Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Antibody, TSH Receptor Antibodies, TSH Receptor-Binding Inhibitor Immunoglobulin, TBII, TBI, Thyroglobulin Antibody, TgAb, Thyroid Autoantibodies.
Thyroid antibodies develop when your immune system mistakenly targets components of the thyroid gland or proteins. This autoimmune response, in which the immune system mistakenly damages tissues in the body, can lead to chronic thyroid inflammation, tissue damage, and/or disruption of thyroid function.
Laboratory tests detect the presence and measure the quantity of specific thyroid antibodies in the blood. Understanding the underlying cause of thyroid dysfunction can help doctors plan the best course of treatment.

Thyroid antibody tests are used in diagnosing hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism as a result of autoimmune thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism describes an underactive thyroid gland, while hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid gland. Thyroid antibody tests may also be used for the following purposes to:
- Diagnose an autoimmune disorder, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease
- Define the best course of treatment
- Determine whether your mild hypothyroidism is likely to get worse over time
- Evaluate the risk to the fetus in pregnant individuals with thyroid disease
- Estimate the risk of relapse after treatment for Graves’ disease
- Monitor if you have been previously treated for thyroid cancer
