EX0146      ANTI THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODY; ANTI TPO
Specimen: 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. Ship refrigerated or frozen.
Stability:
Room Refrigerated Frozen
8 hrs 48 hrs 2 weeks
Method: Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Comment: Combined assay with Anti Tg Antibody (Test Code Z201) is recommended. Anti TPO replaces the earlier Anti Thyroid Microsomal Antibody (TMA) because of greater specificity for the thyroid.
Report: Contact us to know the TAT.
Usage: Determination of TPO antibody levels is the most sensitive test for detecting autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto thyroiditis (90%), Idiopathic myxedema, and Graves disease (60-80%). The presence of TPO antibodies in subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with an increased risk of developing overt hypothyroidism. This assay helps in the diagnosis of thyroid autoimmune disorders and serves as a diagnostic tool in deciding therapy for subclinical hypothyroidism.
