antithyroid antibodies

Antibodies including thyroglobulin antibodies, thyroid microsomal antibodies, TSH receptors, etc., all have organ-specific and species-specific (cross-reactive with primate), have disease typicality, but are not disease specific. Mainly IgG antibodies, rarely IgA and IgM. Anti-thyroid microsomal antibody (ATMA) positive. The antibody is the main basis for the identification of autoimmune thyroid diseases, and is a specific diagnostic index for chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, which is often significantly improved. Other thyroid diseases and healthy people can also be detected in the blood, but the titer is low. It is recommended that you combine other examinations and consult a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and timely diagnosis and treatment. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: immunological examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: normal. Positive: Positive lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease), primary hypothyroidism, exophthalmia, pernicious anemia, Edison's disease, myasthenia gravis, liver disease, various connective tissue vascular diseases. Tips: More often than older women can measure. Normal value Anti-thyroid microsomal antibody (anti-TM) (-). Anti-thyroglobulin antibody (anti-TC) (-). Anti-thyroid epithelial cytoplasmic antibody (-). Long-acting thyroid stimulating hormone (LATS) or anti-thyrotropin (TSH) receptor antibody (-). Clinical significance Positive lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease), primary hypothyroidism, exophthalmia, pernicious anemia, Edison's disease, myasthenia gravis, liver disease, various connective tissue vascular diseases. Precautions (1) When there is only one antibody with a low titer, it does not have much practical significance, because it can also be found in many other diseases and healthy people, especially in older women. (2) Diffuse goiter without higher antibody titer can be coagulated into a malignant tumor. Inspection process Same as RIA method and immunofluorescence method. Not suitable for the crowd There are no taboos. Adverse reactions and risks There are no related complications and hazards.
