Hello,
High levels of antithyrogloblin and perioxidase antibodies suggest hypothyroidism.
You must get thyroid function tests done to find he values of T3,T4 and TSH.
Your levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are also high and this may be due to hypothyroidism.
Once your thyroid levels are brought to level,your cholesterol levels should also come down.
Discuss with your doctor regarding the treatment.
Thanks
