What does a low result mean?

A low or undetectable level is standard, confirming the absence of prominent thyroid autoimmune traits.

What does a high result mean?

A positive finding is very common (found in up to 15% of healthy people) and simply advises checking TSH once a year.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does this antibody presence simply call for an annual routine TSH check?
  • Is my active thyroid function completely normal today?
  • Would a baseline thyroid ultrasound offer helpful structural reassurance?
