Respected Sirs PLEASE HELP THIS OLD MAN OF 70 YEARS ,AS I AM IN TROUBLE .WHAT IS THE REMEDY OF ANTI TG SO HIGH Based on the feedback given earlier by Drs in this forum I have done an Anti- TPO Antibody test and also repeat TSH, FT3 and FT4 tests on 28/06/2014. Apollo Diagnostics have also MEASURED Anti-Thyroglobulin. While all the test results are OK, Result of Anti-Thyroglobulin IS NOT OK TSH is 4.76 �IU/mL, Free T3 is 3.14 pg/mL ,Free T4 is 0.89 �IU/mL ,Anti-TPO is 38.6 (<60 U/ml: Anti-TPO Negative, Anti-Thyroglobulin is 161.0*(Too Much)[>=60 U/ml: Anti-Tg Positive].I DO NOT KNOW THE IMPLICATION OF ANTI TG SO MUCH POSITIVE ORIGINAL CASE HISTORY OF THE PATIENT Without any symptom my wife (62 years) went for T3, T4, THS test as a routine check up ON 28/03/2017 1) Although TSH Level is Elevated is 7.87 uIU/ml (Normal Range-0.27-4.90), 2) T3 Level is Normal at 1.40 ng/ml (Normal Range-0.80 -2.0) 3) and T4 Level is Normal at 11.35.ug/dL (Normal Range-5.1-14.1). endocrinologist was consulted. The doctor opined it as Subclinical Hypothyroidism (beginning) and recommended Thyroxine Supplement.(Thyronorm 25 mcg) and advised to see him after 3 months of taking medicine and repeat tests. As a precautionary measure AFTER 28 DAYS ONLY I DID a REPEAT TEST FOR TSH ONLY in the same laboratory AND SURPRISINGLY TSH WAS FOUND TO BE ONLY 0.07 (Normal Range-0.34-5.60) I again went to the doctor concerned and he advised to STOP THYRONORM PLEASE ADVISE NOW. With thanks.
