Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for asking on HCM! I read carefully your report.
High AntiTPO antibodies with high TSH level mean that there is an autoimmune process that destroys the thyroid gland and as a result its function is lowered (hypothyroidism). High AntiTPO antibodies confirm the autoimmune etiology.
The treatment consist to substitute the hormone that can't be produced by the thyroid gland, if the TSH is corrected with the dose that your doctor recommended, you do not have any risk.
All you have to do is to check the thyroid hormone level every 6 months in order to insure that you are taking the right dose of levothyroxine.
Hope the information will help you.

Kind regards,
Dr.M.Guni
