Hello and welcome to HCM,
A high TSH value suggests hypothyroidim.TPo is done to know the cause of hypothyodism which is most commonly caused by autoimmune disorder and TPO test is done to detect anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies.
In case anti TPO antibodies are positive, this shows that there is presence of auto-antibodies against thyroid gland.
Thanks and take care
