Bloodwork? - Autoantibodies

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I need some help deciphering the results from my latest bloodwork.

My " thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies " (or anti-microsome) are " >1300

U/ml " - the reference range is <60 U/ml. WOW! My doctor added a note

stating that my " Hashimoto's is still very active " - ya think? She

also said that there would be no change in my meds - (levoxyl

(sp?) .137) for about 3 years now. [My Free T4 is 1.16 - reference

range is .58 - 1.64, and my TSH is .08 - reference range is .35 - 5.60

so I'm a bit low on that.]

My question is: what the heck are my meds doing if my autoantibodies

are way high at >1300?

Any insight would be very appreciated. I've left a message with my doc

but it may be a while before I hear back from her.

Thanks so much for your time,

Jill
