Hello,
I can understand your concern.
High anti TPO antibodies are suggestive of an autoimmune process of the thyroid gland.
They attack the gland and cause hypothyroidism.
It is also important to ascertain if you truly have hypothyroidism, be it is subclinical or overt. Such a determination is best made by checking the thyroid hormones in addition to detailed clinical evaluation. If the hormones are within the normal ranges than you do not need treatment.
There is no therapy to lower the antibodies.
Hope this answers your query. In case of any doubts, I am available for the follow ups.
