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.
