Brief Answer: Autoimmune thyroiditis. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXXXXX hi! positive TPO antibodies only mean that you have auto immune predisposition. but once TSH is high it means hypothyroidism. both put together mean autoimmune thyroiditis causing hypothyroidism. and definitely that is the most common cause. yes you must continue treatment and keep monitoring for every 3 monthly interval. you need to take the medicine for long may be whole life. regards!
