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.
Decreases body mass and it would stimulate metabolism...
That is the thyroid gland.
TPO stands for "Thyroid Peroxidase", an enzyme involved in the production of thyroid hormones in the body. Elevated levels of TPO antibodies are often associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
An autopsy only checks the physical aspect of the body. It could not determine the thyroid level of someone.
Diffuse thyroid parenchymal disease just means disease of the thyroid throughout the body of an organ. It is not a diagnosis, but only an observation based on thyroid ultrasound.
The thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body. This gland is found in the neck inferior to (below) the thyroid cartilage (also known as the Adam's apple in men) and at approximately the same level as the cricoid cartilage. The thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy, makes proteins, and how sensitive the body should be to other hormones.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid
A TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) level of 15.25 mIU/L typically indicates hypothyroidism, meaning the thyroid gland is underactive and not producing enough thyroid hormones. Normal TSH levels generally range from approximately 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L. Elevated TSH levels suggest that the pituitary gland is signaling the thyroid to produce more hormones due to insufficient levels in the body. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for diagnosis and potential treatment options.
The target for thyroxine is to regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the production of thyroid hormones. Thyroxine is produced by the thyroid gland and helps to maintain normal function of organs and tissues in the body. The target level of thyroxine in the blood is typically determined through thyroid function tests.
An elevated heart rate increases the body's calorie burning rate because it indicates that the body is working harder and using more energy to sustain the increased activity level.
The thyroid controls how every single cell in the body metabolizes energy.
The thyroid is in your throat, or the neck.
It stimulates thyroid gland.So thyroid secretes calcitonin or thyroxine.
