Thyroid antibodies

[Guest guest]

,

The TPO test results mean there's a good liklihood that you have

Hashimoto's, but it could also indicate idiopathic hypothyroidism

(meaning the cause is not known). See

http://www.aruplab.com/guides/clt/tests/clt_216b.htm for more

details. Hopefully, your specialist will have additional information

to make a diagnosis with.

Best wishes,

Hi ,

Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) is an enzyme essential for the production of thyroid

hormone. TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies are seen in both autoimmune

hypothryoidism and autoimmune hyperthyroidism (GD), but in hypoT higher titers

or

levels are usually seen.

Anything you do to help your immune system heal will help reduce autoantibody

production, including stress reduction techniques, a nutrient-rich diet and

avoiding environmental toxins such as excess dietary iodine, aspartame,

fluoride, etc. Best to you, Elaine

Hi Jenni, I have hyprothryoid and needed meds to get pregnant. My doctors told

me I needed to be on it when I was pregnant or it could cause future problems

for my child if I didn't take it. Not sure if you are needing meds or not, but

that is my experience with it when I was pregnant.

[ ] thyroid antibodies

Hi-

Wondering what you all think about supposed auto-immune attacks

against the thyroid. I had a blood test which says that I am very high

in thyroid peroxidase ab (antibodies I guess) which supposedly means

that I have a auto-immune thyroid disease like Hashimotos. I am not sure

what to think about this since I am no longer a believer in my body

attacking itself out of confusion, but I do wonder what to do...Some say

that taking Armour can help stop an " attack " on the thyroid, and I do

have all of the symptoms (tight swollen throat, swinging from slow

thyroid symptoms to fast thyroid symptoms). It could be retracing, I

don't know for sure, as I have had thyroid trouble for the last few

years...Since I am pregnant, it is more of a concern for me than if I

were not.

==>Hi Jenni. I agree with you that the body isn't stupid enough to

attack itself and the antibody theory is just that, a theory, which

doesn't stand up to the light of truth.

Dr. Mercola says that taking thyroid meds can make your body dependent

upon them and that other treatments should be done instead. However,

we know that candida causes thyroid problems because its toxins make

all of the body's cells go rigid/stiff so that organs throughout the

body have more difficulty producing proper hormones. Also hormones,

nutrients, and other needed substances that are produced aren't as able

to get into stiff cells to do their job.

I lost my thyroid due to over treatment when I had candida by taking

too much Lugol's iodine (only needed in trace amounts), and a thyroid

med just like Armour. At one point during my candida program my

thyroid went into a tizzy, from very low to very high so that I had

Grave's Disease. I think my thyroid was starting to recover and

because I was on meds and iodine they were too much which confused and

overwhelmed my thyroid. I instinctively stopped both, but it was too

late.

I believe it is most important to focus on the " cause " and not the

symptoms like doctors do, where they label every symptom as a disease.

Symptoms are simply " signs " that something isn't right, which is

usually a depressed immune system. The cause is candida, so curing it

will normalize all body functions.

During your pregnancy getting proper nutrients and eliminating toxins

are the best things you can do for yourself and your baby.

I recently got a complete bloodwork done. Can anyone

tell me what thyroid antibodies would be labeled as? I

know that my doctor should have told me this when he

gave me the results, but...

Look for the " Ab " tacked on, such as in these:

TPOAb, TgAb and TRAb

Thanks for the info. It looks like the tests for

antibodies weren't taken. Without the tests, the

doctor wouldn't know what kind of hypothyroidism I

have, would he? All he took were the

T3 Uptake 32 (23-37)

T4, Total 8.0 (4.5-10.9)

FTI 2.6 (1.4-3.1)

TSH 9.677 (0.35-5.50)

Based on that info., should I pursue additional tests?

Thanks,

Yes, you should persue additional tests. Free T3 and Free T4 and

antibodies tests. Saliva testing would be more telling. There's a

great saliva test you can order yourself at:

http://www.canaryclub.org It does the Frees, cortisol, antibodies,

DHEA, sex hormones.

Hope this helps

It varies widely from lab to lab. However, you should look for something

like TPO or ATPO (anti- thyroid peroxidase) and ATG (anti-thyroglobulin).

If these tests weren't done, then the doctor wouldn't

know what kind of hypothyroidism I have, right?

I'm afraid I disagree with Sam on this. I don't think it necessary to

test for antibodies at this stage. Get the meds first. Then, if you have

trouble reaching the right dose, check the antibodies and Frees. With a

TSH above 9, you need the meds as a top priority, immediately. That will

be true regardless of your autoimmune status.

Since Hashi's is the largest single cause of hypoT, there are obviously

a lot of people with Hashi's (perhaps a large majority) who successfully

treat with just a TSH test. If it doesn't work for you, then spend the

extra money on the tests that will provide additional information.

Sam, do you have a different treatment for TGAb versus TPOAb? Doesn't

iodine cure everything? Equally?

haha funny, Chuck. Iodine didn't fix my car.

Chuck,

I understand what you are saying, but my concern is

that because I don't have any symptoms, how will I

know if the meds. are working? From what I've been

reading, the TSH test can't relay everything that is

going on (or can it?) Because I don't feel physically

like anything is wrong--I just stumbled upon my high

TSH count during a basic physical exam--how do I know

that everything isn't wrong - adrenals, sex hormones,

the works? An additional worry of mine me is that I'm

about to become pregnant, so I want to be sure that

everything is in perfect order.

I have to agree with Chuck, especially if you want to get pregnant.

Get on the medication right away. I was hypoT before I realized it

and miscarried. You can check on the other numbers but get the TSH

and Ft3 & 4's in order.

If you can't get your doc to run the

right tests, you can find out for yourself

by ordering your own saliva tests.

http://www.canaryclub.org

I'm serious. A lot of us save our pennies

until we can afford to do that, if we feel

we need to.

Again, I'm neither a scientist nor Chuck. But I'll try to answer one of

you concerns.

TSH numbers are relied upon by conventional medical practices to a very

great extent to determine the need for and the effectiveness of

hypothyroidism treatment. There is no argument AFAIK with the fact that

lowering the TSH numbers to the recommended level is desirable. The

problem arises because a minority of people [maybe a majority here?] do

not obtain relief from some possibly very negative symptoms and health

issues even though the TSH numbers have been brought down into compliance.

So over time a number of people have presented quite a bit of anecdotal

evidence that TSH numbers are not really a good indicator of a healthy

thyroid; at least for some people under treatment. Many of those here

seem to find that they do not do well until the TSH numbers are much

lower than the recommended medium; and possibly even below the

recommended minimum. Even among those I doubt you'll find anyone who

would suggest that you will be healthy if your TSH numbers are much

above the max recommended level.

So to start with it's probably best to concentrate upon getting your TSH

with norms and stable. If you still have problems you'll probably want

more advice. There appears to be some indication that if your

hypothyroidism was discovered early that your chances of having a good

result from conventional treatment without complications is considerably

enhanced.

Luck,

You might explain why the antibodies test is necessary. To me the extra

you have an alternative treatment for what the antibody tests would

From my perspective, all the antibody test gives you is the clue that

the TSH will go up and down for awhile before it stabilizes at a full

replacement dose.

If you don't have symptoms to go along with this chase after stable

conditions, thank your lucky stars.

Well I didn't know I had Hashi's until June or July of 2007 even though I've

The ups and downs of the disease etc. IMO it is not wasted money. Have you

If you test positive for antibodies this increases

your risk for other autoimmune conditions and alerts

your doctor to this. Having antibodies present while

pregnant is also a concern and increases risks ... I

would always want to know what I was up against. But

then again, I might not be thinking too clearly

Hello, how are you doing? Unfortunately, off the top

of my head I cannot :-( I was reading Shomon's

book " Living well with Hypothyroidism " and it talked

about it in there I believe. I think even just putting

" pregnancy with antibodies present " into google should

bring some stuff up though? Sorry I couldn't be more

help!

Your antibodies will probably carry on attaching your thyroid tissue until they have thoroughly destroyed it, and you will not be able to produce any thyroid hormones. This happened to me long ago - I have no thyroid whatsoever, so keep alive on wonderful Armour. Once there is no thyroid left to destroy, they have nothing else to do and therefore disappear. They only attach your thyroid tissue. Mind you, you might get other autoimmune diseases with other antibodies.
