Brief Answer:
what are the levels T3T4 and TSH.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
there is nothing to worry about the high titres of the antibodies.
They only represent the autoimmune involvement of thyroid gland.
What is important is the levels of thyroid hormone. If you have any reports of T3 T4 and TSH, please post them.
Awaiting your reply.
