Question
My anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) test result is slightly above the normal range. Do I need to seek medical treatment? Will it affect fertility?
Answer
Based on your description, your TPOAb test result is 60.39, slightly higher than the normal range (0.00-34.00). In this case, it is recommended that you undergo a thyroid ultrasound examination further. If thyroid ultrasound and other thyroid function tests are normal, then you do not need to be overly concerned. You should pay attention to maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. These are the suggestions for the question ‘Should you seek medical attention for elevated anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies?’ I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
