TPOD AB is thyroid peroxidase antibody. It is usually seen on a higher side with people who have inflammatory heriditory condition like Rhematoid arthritis, grave's disease etc.

Here basicaly your body immune system will be always active even against your body cell and so that there will be ongoing damage happening at cellular level. TPOD AB test results are also high for people who are with long term thyroid gland problem like hupo or hyperthyroidism.

Your test result is 116.2 indicates there is on going damage happening for your thyroid gland cell by your body immune system. And there is only one way to reduce this is consult your treating doctor talk to him about this. And take appropriate medication to reduce the damage. As well do regular walk and also check with dietician on anti inflammatory diet for thyroid patients.

Follow the steps given properly and it will be really useful for you.

Take care.
