Anti TPO

General information:

TPO antibodies are directed against the thyroid peroxidase and are identical to the MAT antibodies. They inhibit enzyme activity, disrupt thyroid tissue and block its function, which is clinically manifested as hypothyroidism. They are usually high before the appearance of the clinical signs of the disease. They are most often positively influenced by Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In addition, they are not only highly sensitive but also highly specific. Their research is also recommended for other autoimmune diseases of the gland, as well as prolonged treatment with amiodarone, IFNα, IL-2 and lithium. It is important to follow in Down syndrome, and in obstetric practice with suspected thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy, postpartum thyroiditis, spontaneous abortion and in vitro fertilization.
