From UW: What is the most prevalent antibody in Hashimoto Thyroiditis? A. Anti-Thyroid peroxidase antibodies B. Anti-Smooth Muscle antibodies C. TSH Receptor blocking antibodies D. Thyroid stimulating antibodies E. Anti mitochondrial antibodies --Also what are the other antibodies found in? --In which disease are anti-microsomal antibodies found?

Here my notes: List of some autoantibodies and commonly associated diseases vs. double-stranded-DNA = Systemic lupus erythematosus vs. Ro or La = Systemic lupus erythematosus and neonatal heart block, primary Sjogren's syndrome vs. Sm = Systemic lupus erythematosus vs. phospholipid = Antiphospholipid syndrome vs. SSA or SSB = Sjogren's syndrome vs. neutrophil cytoplasmic (cANCA) = Wegener's granulomatosis vs. neutrophil perinuclear (pANCA) = Systemic vasculitides (non-specific) vs. IgG (Rheumatoid Factor) = Rheumatoid arthritis vs. neutrophil perinuclear (pANCA) = Polyarteritis nodosa vs. centromere = CREST syndrome vs. Scl70 = Systemic sclerosis vs. smooth muscle = chronic autoimmune hepatitis vs. mitochondria = primary biliary cirrhosis vs. nicotinic acetylcholine receptor = myasthenia gravis vs. voltage-gated calcium channel = Lambert-Eaton syndrome vs. thyroid peroxidase (microsmal) = Hashimoto's thyroiditis vs. TSH receptor = Graves' disease vs. Hu = Paraneoplastic cerebellar syndrome vs. voltage-gaed potassium channel (VGKC) = Limbic encephalitis

So microsomal & thyroid peroxidase are synonymous?

fox: I think they are. But the current name is peroxidase (microsomal isn't longer used) answer is A + antithyroglobulin ab. I don't know the answer to the last question.

antiperoxidase abs are also present in Sjogren, SLE, RA, pernicious anemia and other thyroid disorders (but in less %).

Antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (previously known as thyroid microsome autoantibodies) are present at: * high titre, in: o Hashimoto's thyroiditis o idiopathic thyroid atrophy * low titre, in: o Grave's disease o De Quervain's thyroiditis o 8% of males, and 10% of females without thyroid disease

OK, so they are synonymous. Thats what I wanted to know because I was used to reading anti-microsomal antibodies for Hashimotos. Also please note: they sometimes say Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies as Anti TPO Antibodies.
