Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies

TRAK

TRAK, thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, can be analyzed to give better insight into what is causing thyroid problems. High TRAK levels can cause an autoimmune reaction and lead to the body's immune system attacking and damaging the thyroid cells.

What is TRAK (thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies)?

TRAK, or thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, are antibodies that are formed in the body against the receptors for TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) found on the thyroid cells. TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and plays an important role in the body's hormone system, it stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) which are important for regulating the body's energy balance, metabolism and heat regulation.

Why analyse TRAK

TRAK can be analyzed to gain a better understanding of what causes thyroid problems and to diagnose and monitor autoimmune diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Graves' disease (a form of hyperthyroidism) and Hashimoto's disease - a disease that can lead to hypothyroidism.

What can cause a high TRAK value?

When TRAK is present in high levels, it can cause an autoimmune reaction where the body's immune system attacks and damages the thyroid cells, which can lead to an overactive thyroid (Graves disease) or underactive thyroid (Hashimoto's disease) depending on how the antibodies affect the thyroid.

What can cause a low TRAK value?

A low value of TRAK (thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies) may mean that there is no active autoimmune disease in the thyroid gland. It can also mean that the disease is in an early phase or does not affect the thyroid gland at the moment. Low levels of TRAK are usually normal and not associated with any specific symptoms or health problems. However, it is important to note that this is general information and it is important to consult a doctor for a complete evaluation and diagnosis of thyroid problems. It is also important to note that a low TRAK value does not always mean that one does not have or will never develop an autoimmune thyroid disease.

Medical comment included

With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.

What can I expect in the medical report?

The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.

What does the doctor look at during a health check?

When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:

Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.

Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.

Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.

Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.

Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.

In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.

What happens if I have abnormal test results?

If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.

  • Measures your levels of the thyroid hormones T3, T4 and TSH.
  • Analysis of TPO antibodies (thyroperoxidase antibodies).
  • Analysis of TRAK thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies.
