TSH Receptor Antibodies near me in Chandigarh
The TSH Receptor Antibodies test is a blood test that helps assess the functioning of the thyroid gland. It specifically detects the antibodies that target the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. The presence of these antibodies in the blood may indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases, particularly Graves' disease. The test is typically done when symptoms of a thyroid disorder are present but other thyroid tests are inconclusive, or when a definitive diagnosis is needed to guide treatment related to autoimmune thyroid disorders. This test is widely available at an affordable price in Chandigarh.
Understanding TSH Receptor Antibodies
TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs) are the proteins produced by the immune system that target the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Receptor, an important regulator of thyroid gland function. TSH binds to its receptor, promoting thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. However, in the presence of TRAbs, this interaction becomes dysregulated.
The TSH Receptor Antibodies test is a diagnostic test to detect TRAbs that are often present in certain thyroid conditions. The presence of TSH Receptor antibodies can indicate an autoimmune thyroid disorder such as Graves' disease, causing an overproduction of thyroid hormones, encompassing symptoms such as weight loss, palpitations, and heat intolerance. This test is often done alongside other thyroid function tests such as TSH, T3, T4, Free T3, Free T4, and other anti-thyroid antibodies tests to provide a more comprehensive view of thyroid function and to diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders. If thyroid hormone tests indicate dysfunction, TSH Receptor Antibodies test may be ordered to explore autoimmune causes. During pregnancy, a TSH Receptor Antibodies test plays an important role in assessing thyroid health and identifying potential risks to the expecting mother and the growing baby.
Usually, no special preparation is required before undertaking a TSH Receptor Antibodies test. However, if done alongside thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4), inform your doctor about medications or supplements you are taking. While maintaining the continuity of your thyroid medications, wait for at least 8 -hours before a TSH Receptor Antibodies test if taking a high dose (more than 5 mg per day) of biotin (Vitamin B7) supplements as these may interfere with the test results.
Lab test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, and other things. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation; therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results, and always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results. The insights from this test help the doctor to diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders, guide treatment decisions, and assess thyroid health.

What does TSH Receptor Antibodies measure?
The TSH Receptor Antibodies test measures the presence and levels of specific antibodies known as TSH or Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody. These antibodies bind to the receptors on thyroid cells normally activated by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and their presence usually indicates Grave’s disease, an autoimmune thyroid disorder. In Graves’ disease, an antibody called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) binds to the TSH receptor and mimics the action of TSH. This causes constant stimulation of the thyroid gland, prompting it to release too much thyroid hormone. Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate an autoimmune response against the thyroid gland, which can help diagnose and monitor the relapse of Grave’s disease.
