Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis usually include increased thyroid stimulating hormone, decreased free T3 and free T4, and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies.

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis usually include increased Yhyroid stimulating hormone, decreased free T3 and free T4, and Anti-thyroid peroxidase anntibodies.

Thyroid hormones

Thyroid antibodies

  • Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) (correlates with the disease severity)
  • Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-Tg)
  • Anti-microsomal antibodies can help obtain an accurate diagnosis.[2]
