Hyperthyroidism caused by overproduction of thyroid hor-mones can be treated with antithyroid medications (methimazole and propylthiouracil), radioactive iodine ablation of the thyroid gland, or...
Tests for people with confirmed thyrotoxicosis - NCBI Bookshelf
Several investigations are commonly used in the clinical practice to investigate a patient with suspected Graves’ disease, including measurement of thyroid autoantibodies (TPO-Ab and TSHR-Ab), thyroid ultrasound and thyroid isotope uptake scan.
Thyrotropin receptor stimulatory antibody (TSH-R-Ab) can be used to predict fetal or neonatal risk of thyroid dysfunction. TSH-R-Ab should, therefore, be measured in all patients with Graves’ disease during early pregnancy, including those who already underwent radioactive iodine ablation or total thyroidectomy.
Utility of TSH Receptor Antibodies in the Differential Diagnosis of ...
Graves’ disease (GD) is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in iodine-sufficient areas. It is important to distinguish GD from other causes of hyperthyroidism for optimal management. Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb) test …
Thyroid antibodies explained - British Thyroid Foundation
TPO antibodies may be checked in patients with a high TSH, to help establish the underlying cause. If the TPO antibodies are positive, it means the cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease (e.g. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis).

In the United States, the prevalence of hyperthyroidism is approximately 1.2% (0.5% overt and 0.7% subclinical); the most common causes include Graves’ disease (GD), toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG), and toxic adenoma (TA) (1).
