About TPO Test (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) in Sun City
Thyroid peroxidase, or TPO, is an enzyme the thyroid uses to attach iodine to thyroid hormone precursors.
When the immune system mistakenly recognizes TPO as a threat, it produces TPO antibodies that can damage thyroid tissue over time.
Elevated TPO antibodies are commonly associated with autoimmune thyroid conditions, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis and, less often, Graves' disease.
Because antibody levels can be present even when thyroid hormone levels are normal, results are interpreted with the broader thyroid panel and clinical context.
