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.

Reports are suggestive of mild hypothyroidism and if symptoms are not therre we call it as sub clinical. Antithyroid antibodies are done to detect wather hypothyroidism is due to autoimmunity, means body produces antibodies against its own thyroid glands.In your case repeat TSH after 1 month and if found high or patient develops symptoms of hypothyroidism you can start thyroxin in small dose, under supervision of your physician.
