ATA- ANTI THYROID ANTIBODY

The thyroid, situated at the neck’s base, regulates crucial bodily functions by producing hormones that manage energy levels, body temperature, and organ performance. However, the immune system, designed to produce protective antibodies, can mistakenly attack the thyroid with antithyroid antibodies. This misguided assault disrupts hormone production, leading to imbalances that can cause either an excess or deficiency of thyroid hormones, impacting overall health.
