TRAb (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor Antibody)

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition often linked to elevated levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor Antibodies (TRAb). This condition commonly leads to hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland becomes overactive.

Symptoms may include:                            Rapid or irregular heartbeat          Unexplained weight loss              Nervousness or anxiety                      Excessive sweating                                   Goiter (enlarged thyroid)                              Eye problems such as bulging or irritation Skin changes like pretibial myxedema  Fatigue and muscle weakness

The TRAb test plays a crucial role in confirming a Graves’ disease diagnosis and guiding treatment. Depending on severity, treatment options may include medications, radioactive iodine, or surgery. Timely testing and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for effective management and long-term thyroid health.
