There are some others who have had hot nodules and I'm sure one of them will be along to answer your questions in depth soon.
anti TGab and anti TPOab are the anti thyroid antibodies that attack the gland and cause the nodules .
Do you have any symptoms ?
That is what's written on my last test sheet:
TSH 2.6 mlU/L 0.3-4.0
FT4 13.4 pmol/L 9-24
FT3 4.6 pmol/L 3.5-7.0
I haven't tested TGab and TPOab, what's this?
I don't take any hormones. The dimensions of the nodules are in my prev. post.
The problem is that they want to remove the whole gland, not only the nodules.
Please post your TSH, FT4, FT3 levels, not just the ranges.
Also, has the doc tested TGab and TPOab to see if Hashimoto's is causing these nodules? Are you on any thyroid hormone now? Hot nodules are usually flagged to be removed, but how big are these nodules?
