The anti-TPO test detects antibodies against TPO in the blood. Thyroid antibodies are developed when a person’s immune system mistakenly targets the components of the thyroid gland or thyroid proteins. This autoimmune response, in which the immune system mistakenly damages tissues in the body, can lead to chronic inflammation of the thyroid, tissue damage, and/or disruption of thyroid function.

It is recommended:To diagnose the autoimmune disorders of the thyroid like Hashimoto's thyroiditis (swelling of the thyroid gland resulting in decreased thyroid function), Grave's disease (overactivity of the thyroid gland resulting in the overproduction of thyroid hormones), or idiopathic myxoedema (associated with low levels of thyroid hormones).They differentiate between the autoimmune disorders of the thyroid and non-autoimmune disorders, such as goitre or hypothyroidism.To diagnose chronic thyroiditis.To diagnose subclinical hypothyroidism.
The Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (anti-TPO) Antibody test measures:The thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody test analyses the anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in your blood. The body produces these antibodies when the cells in your thyroid become damaged.Having anti-thyroid antibodies in your blood does not automatically mean that you have a thyroid disease. However, you might be at an increased risk for thyroid disease in the future.The TPO is also known as thyroid peroxidase or iodide peroxidase, which is an enzyme mainly produced in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located in the lower part of the neck.This TPO is found in the cells of the thyroid follicle where it helps in the production of the thyroid hormones. Its basic function is to oxidize iodide ions to form iodine atoms which assist in the production of thyroxine (T4) or triiodothyronine (T3), the thyroid hormones.The TPO is an antigenic determinant of the autoantibodies in diseases like autoimmune disorders of the thyroid. These antibodies are called anti-TPO antibodies (anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies) which activate complement and might be associated with dysfunction of the thyroid and its pathogenesis. To assess these antibodies, the anti-TPO antibody test is carried out.
