Thyroid Pyroxidase Antibodies mean that there are antibodies in your blood that are targeting thyroid peroxidase (TPO) TPO is located inside thyroid cells. This is a sign that there has been destruction of thyroid cells. The antibodies attack thyroid cells, resulting in thyroid destruction and dysfunction. This results in metabolic imbalance that can eventually, if not treated, can cause death.

TSH means thyroid stimulating hormone. The thyroid is responsible for controlling energy consumption, body temperature, weight, and heart rate; as well as your overall body metabolism. Your thyroid is dependent on your pituitary gland; another part of your endocrine system that is located at the back of the brain. Your pituitary gland produces the actual thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and regulates your TSH level; and it is the TSH levels produced by the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid to go to work. You may have an issue with the pituitary gland. Higher TSH levels than normal suggests a thyroid that is under-active and not doing its job of producing thyroid hormone.
