{"product_id":"tpo-121","title":"TPO","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe TPO test measures the level of thyroid peroxidase antibodies in your blood. TPO is an enzyme normally found in the thyroid gland that plays a crucial role in the production of thyroid hormones. If your immune system mistakenly attacks this enzyme, it can lead to chronic inflammation and thyroid damage. This test is the primary tool for diagnosing autoimmune thyroid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat This Test Covers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eTPO Antibodies: Detects the specific antibodies that signal an autoimmune response against the thyroid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eAutoimmune Identification: Helps distinguish between standard thyroid imbalances and autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy Order This Test?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eDiagnose Hashimoto’s Disease: This is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States; a positive TPO test is a key diagnostic marker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eInvestigate Enlarged Thyroid: Often ordered if a physical exam reveals a goiter (swelled thyroid) or nodules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eFertility and Pregnancy: High TPO levels can sometimes impact reproductive health or increase the risk of pregnancy complications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eUnexplained TSH Shifts: If your TSH levels are fluctuating or abnormal, this test helps determine if the root cause is an immune system error.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFast and Private Results\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003ePreparation: No fasting is required for this test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003eTurnaround Time: Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003eConfidential: Your results are delivered securely to your private portal and are not shared with insurance providers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Healthstyles Southwest Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47878988005546,"sku":"121","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/7644\/3562\/files\/tpo_2e772600-b7c4-4265-ae41-4caed54003ae.jpg?v=1768189194","url":"https:\/\/healthstylelabs.com\/products\/tpo-121","provider":"Healthstyle Labs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
