Hashimoto's results in hypothyroid, Grave's results in hyperthyroid. The

antibodies are different.

I have read which antibody shows Hashi's and which Grave's but I can't

keep that info in my brain. I have it saved somewhere. But there are two

basic antibody tests that should be done one is for the Hashi's one for

Grave's

I think if you googled Hashimoto's antibodies and Grave's antibodies

that should find the info. Or try the list archives as I think it has

been discussed here in the past.

Let me know if you can't find out. And I'll try to find my saved info

tomorrow.

Not off the top of my head. A google search should turn up that info.

Yes, I'm on a thyroiditis list and people often talk about Hashi's

" swings " between hypo and hyper. It has to do with how the Hashi's

antibodies attack the thyroid. I'm not really competent to describe it

more than that. Again a google search should turn up the info you want.

And I think there is info on both Hashimoto's and Graves at STTM.

Graves diagnosis is high TSI antibodies (stimulating TRab) accompanied by high

Ft3 and Ft4

with low TSH. Those with Graves may also have pretibial myxedema or Graves Eye

Diseases

(both caused by TSI).

Hashis is high TPO antibodies (blocking or binding TRab) accompanies by low Ft3

and FT4

with high TSH.
