TPO Test measures the markers listed in its panel and reports each value with a reference range. Read on for what the test checks and how to prepare.

What the TPO Test Screens For and Why

A result outside the range is a signal to follow up with a healthcare provider, not a diagnosis by itself. Because the TPO Test looks at a defined set of markers, it screens a specific area rather than every possible condition. The TPO Test is often used to check a particular set of markers when there is a reason to look more closely. Screening results from the TPO Test are most useful when reviewed alongside your history by a healthcare provider.

Understanding TPO Test Results and Reference Ranges

Keeping a copy of the TPO Test report makes it easier to compare results over time. A healthcare provider can explain what the TPO Test numbers mean in the context of your health history.

Reference ranges for the TPO Test can vary by laboratory method, so always use the range printed with your report.
