In autoimmune diseases of thyroid glands, the patient\u2019s immune system makes antibodies that mistakenly attack normal tissue of thyroid glands. The Anti-TPO antibodies attacking the thyroid gland cause <strong>swelling, rarely tenderness and reduced normal functioning<\/strong> of the thyroid. Anti TPO test prices range from Rs 600 to Rs 1300 in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anti TPO test detects the autoimmune disorders of thyroid glands such as Graves&#8217; disease or Hashimoto&#8217;s disease. <strong>TPO (Thyroid peroxidase)<\/strong> enzyme is crucial in producing thyroid hormones T3 and T4. These hormones regulate growth and development in the human body. Thus, high Anti TPO antibodies in the blood may indicate a thyroid disorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/booking?city=mumbai&amp;lab=96&amp;test=atpo-anti-thyroperoxidase-antibody-84\" style=\"border-radius:3px\">Book Now &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anti TPO test details in brief<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Also known as<\/strong><\/td><td>Anti TPO Antibodies test, Thyroid peroxidase antibody test,&nbsp; TPO antibody test, Antithyroid antibodies test, AMA Test<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><td>Diagnosis of<strong> <\/strong>Hashimoto&#8217;s disease or Graves&#8217; disease, hypothyroidism<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/td><td>Avoid multivitamins or dietary supplements containing biotin (vitamin B7).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fasting required<\/strong><\/td><td>No fasting is required.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Reporting<\/strong> <strong>time<\/strong><\/td><td>8 to 24 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><td>Rs 600 to Rs 1300<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Table indicating Test details <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price\">Anti TPO test price&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anti-TPO test price depends on diagnostic centres and cities.

Thus, doctors often recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/blog\/Redcliffe-advanced-thyroid-package\/\">Thyroid antibody tests<\/a>, including anti-TPO and anti-TG (Thyroglobulin) tests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"purpose\">Purpose of the Anti-TPO antibodies test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anti TPO test is a specific method for measuring thyroid antibodies. It is beneficial in patients with elevated TSH<strong>,<\/strong> but Free T4 levels are normal. Some of the common symptoms when you may be asked for these tests are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Goitre (enlarged thyroid gland)<\/strong>: It is marked by a swollen neck and is more common in malnourished children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Muscle weakness<\/strong>: This is a reduction in muscle tonicity. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gaining weight<\/strong>: This is a consequence of metabolic disturbances. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tiredness<\/strong>: This is marked by a lack of energy in the body. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are the following purposes of the Anti-TPO antibodies test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>To diagnose autoimmune disorders of the thyroid gland like Hashimoto&#8217;s disease or Graves&#8217; disease.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For confirmation whether the patient has autoimmune thyroid disorders or non-autoimmune goitre.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detect <strong>hypothyroidism<\/strong> (a medical condition involving less production of thyroxine hormone).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Idiopathic myxedema<\/strong> is characterised as<strong> an atrophic (a shrunk or decreased size)<\/strong> thyroid gland and positive autoantibodies to the thyroid gland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is an Anti-TPO antibody test recommended?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A doctor recommends this test when other thyroid tests like TSH, Free T3, and T4 indicate thyroid gland disorder and enlargement.&nbsp;Other necessary thyroid tests which doctors may recommend are<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>TSH receptor antibodies<\/strong>: TSH stands for Thyroid-stimulating hormone. This test involves the detection of antibodies that bind to the TSH receptors(Protein based binding vacant site). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ATG (Anti Thyroglobulin antibodies)<\/strong>: Thyroglobulin act as a material that produces thyroid hormones. Antithyroglobulin antibodies suggest thyroid gland damage due to the hyperactivity of the immune system. This test is helpful for autoimmune diseases like Graves disease and Systemic lupus erythematosus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FT3<\/strong>: This test measures Free triiodothyronine (T3) hormone levels in the blood. This hormone regulates muscularity, weight and body temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FT4<\/strong>: This is the free type of T4. The Free T4 penetrates the tissues when needed. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>T3<\/strong>: The T3 test measures triiodothyronine (T3) hormone levels in the bloodstream. This hormone regulates muscularity, weight and body temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>T4<\/strong>: Thyroxine(alternatively known as T4) is a subtype of thyroid hormone. Excessive or insufficiency of T4 can indicate a thyroid disorder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preparation\">Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>There are no special preparations necessary for a thyroid antibodies blood test.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, the patient must not eat dietary supplements containing biotin (vitamin B7).<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6103391\/\"> Vitamin B7<\/a> uptake is denied because it may increase thyroid function.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"procedure\">Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Anti-TPO test is a simple blood test that can be taken by your doctor or at a pathology lab. The steps of the procedure are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The technician will rub the alcohol on the area of the skin. A syringe is taken.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A needle is pricked into the blood veins.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The blood is withdrawn with the help of a syringe.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The technician will collect a blood sample into a test tube or vial.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may feel a slight sting when the needle goes in or out. The procedure usually takes less than five minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/blood-test-procedure-13.png\" alt=\"blood test procedure\" class=\"wp-image-4347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/blood-test-procedure-13.png 640w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/blood-test-procedure-13-560x298.png 560w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/blood-test-procedure-13-595x316.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"result\">Anti-TPO antibody test result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Test results indicate the level of anti-TPO antibodies present in the blood.
