ANTI-THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES, SERUM-
Anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies are specific for the autoantigen TPO, a 105kDa glycoprotein that catalyses iodine oxidation and thyroglobulin tyrosyl iodination
reactions in the thyroid gland. Anti-TPO antibodies are the most common anti-thyroid autoantibody, present in approximately 90% of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, 75% of Graves'
disease and 10-20% of nodular goitre or thyroid carcinoma. It is considered as the gold standard for diagnosis of Chronic Autoimmune (Hashimoto) Thyroiditis. Also, 10-15%
of normal individuals can have high level anti-TPO antibody titres.High serum antibodies are found in active phase chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. Thus, antibody titer can be
used to assess disease activity in patients that have developed such antibodies.
