TPO DAB is thyroid peroxidase antibody. It is usually seen on a higher side with people who have inflammatory hereditary condition like Rheumatoid arthritis, graves disease etc. Here basically 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. TPO DAB test results are also high for people who are with long term thyroid gland problem like Hugo or hyperthyroidism. Your test result is 116.2 indicates there is ongoing damage happening for your thyroid gland cell by your body immune system. And there is only one way to reduce this is consulted 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.
