Test Details
In Graves’ disease, the body’s immune system produces antibodies that target and stimulate the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor on the surface of thyroid cells. This leads to overproduction of thyroid hormones and hyperthyroidism.
The TSH Receptor Antibody Test measures the levels of these antibodies in the blood. A positive result confirms the diagnosis of Graves’ disease. The severity of the disease can be determined by the levels of the antibodies, with higher levels indicating a more severe condition.
This test is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for Graves’ disease. If the antibody levels decrease over time, it indicates that the treatment is working. However, if the levels remain high or increase, it suggests that the disease is not under control.
For a comprehensive assessment of thyroid health, the TSH Receptor Antibody Test is often ordered alongside other thyroid function tests, such as TSH, free T4, and total T3.
