  2. Antithyroid autoantibodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithyroid_autoantibodies

    In 1956 the anti-Tg antibody was detected in similar cases, elucidating the autoimmune cause of these characteristics. Later the same year, activating TSH receptor antibodies were discovered. Thyroid microsomal antibodies were discovered in 1964, which were subsequently renamed anti-TPO antibodies due to the identification of their autoantigen. [1]

  3. Hashimoto's encephalopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_encephalopathy

    Thyroid antibodies – both antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO, antithyroid microsomal antibodies, anti-M) and antithyroglobulin antibodies (anti-Tg) – in the disease are elevated, but their levels do not correlate with the severity. [citation needed]

  4. Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_thyroiditis

    One well-conducted study of patients with troublesome general symptoms and with anti-thyroperoxidase (anti-TPO) levels greater than 1000 IU/ml (normal <100 IU/ml) showed that total thyroidectomy caused the symptoms to resolve and median anti-thyroid peroxidase levels to reduce from 2232 to 152 IU/mL, [5] [110] but post-operative complications ...

  5. Graves' ophthalmopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graves'_ophthalmopathy

    Graves' ophthalmopathy is diagnosed clinically by the presenting ocular signs and symptoms, but positive tests for antibodies (anti-thyroglobulin, anti-microsomal and anti-thyrotropin receptor) and abnormalities in thyroid hormones level (T3, T4, and TSH) help in supporting the diagnosis. [citation needed]

  6. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

    Thyroid disease is a medical condition that affects the function of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck and produces thyroid hormones [1] that travel through the blood to help regulate many other organs, meaning that it is an endocrine organ. These hormones normally act in the body to regulate energy use ...

  7. Thyroid peroxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_peroxidase

    Thyroid peroxidase is a frequent epitope of autoantibodies in autoimmune thyroid disease, with such antibodies being called anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO antibodies). This is most commonly associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Thus, an antibody titer can be used to assess disease activity in patients that have developed such ...
