Description

TSH receptor antibodies (TSHR-Ab) imitate the action of TSH and, by targeting these receptors, can trigger hyperthyroidism. TSHR-Abs are present in over 85% of people with Graves' disease and less commonly with Hashimoto's disease. As such, high levels of TSHR antibodies are strongly suggestive of Graves' disease.

Overview

The TRAb test measures the level of antibodies that target the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptors in the body. Elevated TRAb levels are associated with autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Graves' disease.

Risk assessment

The TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb) test is a standard blood test with minimal risk. The primary risk is related to the blood draw, which may cause minor bruising, bleeding, or infection at the puncture site.

Ranges

Negative: Less than 1.75 IU/L Equivocal: 1.75 to 2.00 IU/L Positive: Greater than 2.00 IU/L.

Test result interpretation

Positive result: Elevated TRAb levels indicate the presence of antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland, leading to hyperthyroidism. This finding is characteristic of Graves' disease. Negative result: Normal TRAb levels suggest the absence of autoimmune thyroid disease.
