TSH receptor antibodies are high

The thyroid gland is a very important organ tissue in the body. It plays a very important role in the body and can bring very important physiological effects to the body. However, the thyroid gland is also a part of the body that is prone to problems, causing serious damage to health. For example, high levels of TSH receptor antibodies are a common phenomenon that has a huge impact on health. Let's take a look at what to do if high levels of TSH receptor antibodies are present.

TSH receptor antibodies are closely related to the onset of Graves' disease and are one of the indicators for distinguishing hyperthyroidism and diagnosing Graves' disease. If TSH receptor antibody tests are negative for multiple times, antithyroid drugs can be discontinued and the chance of recurrence is very small. But if all are positive, you cannot stop taking the medicine.

High levels of TSH receptor antibodies are generally caused by a decline in thyroid function, which we often call hypothyroidism. Excessive secretion of thyroid hormones will cause this endocrine disease, and will also cause symptoms such as sexual dysfunction and hypoproteinemia, which are also the main factors for high levels of TSH receptor antibodies.

On the contrary, if the TSH receptor antibody is low, it is often closely related to hyperthyroidism, which is mainly caused by excessive thyroid hormone in the human body, which will often make people excited and the body's metabolism is always in a hyperactive state. Clinically, painless thyroiditis with hyperthyroidism, thyrotoxicosis, etc. will lead to low TSH receptor antibodies.

If there is an abnormality in the TSH in the human body, it means that the secretion of thyroid hormones in the human body has also begun to become abnormal. As the disease progresses, it will cause serious damage to other parts of the body and trigger symptoms of many other diseases. In severe cases, it may even lead to death. Therefore, when an abnormality in TSH is found, timely diagnosis and treatment must be carried out.

What are the methods for thyroid examination?

1. General examination: Patients with hypothyroidism often have anemia, hyperlipidemia, etc. If the examination results show anemia, hyperlipidemia, etc., they can be preliminarily diagnosed as hypothyroidism.

2. Thyroid function test: This test can help patients understand the severity of hypothyroidism.

3. Thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) and peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb): They are important indicators for determining the cause of primary hypothyroidism.
