Overview:
Our Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (Anti-TPO) Antibody Test is a specialised blood test designed to detect the presence of antibodies against thyroid peroxidase in your bloodstream. Thyroid peroxidase is an essential enzyme involved in the production of thyroid hormones. Elevated levels of Anti-TPO antibodies are strong indicators of autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. Early detection through the Anti-TPO Antibody Test enables timely and effective management of thyroid conditions, enhancing your quality of life and preventing potential complications.
