Antibody Tests (Anti-TPO, ANA) – Understanding Immunity & Fertility

What Are Antibody Tests?

Antibody tests such as Anti-TPO and ANA are vital in understanding immune-related causes of infertility. These tests help identify abnormal antibodies that attack healthy tissues, hormones, or reproductive cells. Detecting such antibodies is crucial for women facing repeated IVF failures, recurrent miscarriages, or unexplained infertility. Early diagnosis allows fertility experts to create personalized treatment strategies for better outcomes.

Role of Anti-TPO and ANA in Fertility

The Anti-TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody) test checks for autoimmune thyroid disease, which can affect ovulation and implantation. High Anti-TPO levels indicate thyroid inflammation, commonly linked with infertility or miscarriage. The ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) test detects autoimmune conditions where the body attacks its own cells, sometimes leading to reproductive challenges. Identifying these immune markers helps in managing the root cause effectively.

Why Are Antibody Tests Important in Fertility Treatment?

Undiagnosed immune disorders often interfere with natural conception or assisted reproductive treatments. By identifying antibodies early, doctors can treat underlying issues before IVF or conception attempts. Managing thyroid function and immune balance improves egg quality, implantation success, and pregnancy outcomes.
