Engineering is a great career choice, but most engineers need to move on at a certain point in their career. See why I gave up my career and the paychecks. Itâs a great career that pays well and are in demand, but it might not be for everyone.
Antithyroid microsomal antibody is a test to measure antithyroid microsomal antibodies in the blood. Microsomes are found inside thyroid cells. The body produces antibodies to microsomes when there has been damage to thyroid cells. A blood sample is needed.
There are 2 autoantibodies that are important: Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody (TPO Ab): This antibody is the one that is usually high in autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimotoâs. It is also known as microsomal antibody.PO and TgAb antibodies, however, are considered the definitive test for whether or not you have Hashimotoâs. Basically, if either one or both of these are found to be above the lab range values, then you are positive for the disease.
