Original price was: ₹1,150.00.Current price is: ₹1,100.00.

An antithyroid microsomal antibody (AMA) test, also known as a thyroid peroxidase test, measures the level of antibodies in the blood that attack thyroid peroxidase. 

Purpose 

  • To confirm the cause of thyroid problems
  • To determine if an autoimmune disorder is damaging the thyroid
When to get tested 

  • If you are experiencing symptoms like sweating, fatigue, sudden weight gain or loss, hair loss, anxiety, itching, abdominal pain, jaundice, dry eyes or dry mouth, or fluid buildup around the abdomen, feet, or ankles
Test procedure
  • A blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand 
  • No fasting is required 
Results
  • The normal range of AMA is    < 9 IU/mL 
  • The presence of these antibodies indicates damage to the thyroid cells or the presence of other autoimmune diseases 
Associated conditions Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Grave’s disease. 

Other tests 

  • A doctor may order this test along with other tests to help diagnose thyroid problems or other autoimmune conditions

Description

Method: CLIA
Comment: Combined assay with Anti Tg Antibody (Test Code Z201) is recommended. Anti TPO replaces the earlier Anti Thyroid Microsomal Antibody (TMA) because of greater specificity for the thyroid.
Price: 1100.00
Report: Daily
Usage: Determination of TPO antibody levels is the most sensitive test for detecting autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto thyroiditis (90%), Idiopathic myxedema and Graves disease (60-80%). Presence of TPO antibodies in subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with an increased risk of developing overt hypothyroidism. This assay helps in the diagnosis of thyroid autoimmune disorders and serves as a diagnostic tool in deciding therapy for subclinical hypothyroidism.
