An anti-thyroglobulin antibody test measures the amount of antibodies in the blood that target the thyroglobulin protein. This test can help detect thyroid problems.
What is thyroglobulin?
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by the thyroid gland.
It helps make the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
A small amount of thyroglobulin leaks into the bloodstream.
Why is the test done?
The test can help detect thyroid problems like thyroiditis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and Grave’s disease.
It can also help monitor patients with thyroid cancer.
What can the test results mean?
High levels of thyroglobulin antibodies can indicate thyroid damage, an autoimmune condition, or thyroid cancer.
Declining levels may indicate reduced tumor burden or the absence of disease.
How is the test performed?
A healthcare professional draws blood from a vein in your arm.
The blood sample is then sent to a lab for analysis.

An arthritis profile is a series of blood tests used to help diagnose and assess arthritis, focusing on inflammatory markers and autoimmune activity. It can help determine the type and severity of arthritis and guide treatment plans.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Purpose:
The arthritis profile helps doctors understand the underlying causes of arthritis, differentiate between different types (like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis), and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Tests Included:
Common tests in an arthritis profile include:
C-reactive protein (CRP):A marker of inflammation in the body.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR):Another marker of inflammation.
Rheumatoid factor (RF):A protein found in the blood of people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Anti-CCP antibodies:A type of autoantibody found in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA):Autoantibodies that can be elevated in various autoimmune conditions.
Complete blood count (CBC):A general blood test that can reveal signs of inflammation or infection.
Uric acid:Elevated levels can indicate gout, a type of arthritis.
Antistreptolysin O (ASO):An antibody that can be elevated after a streptococcal infection, which can sometimes trigger arthritis.
How it’s done:
The arthritis profile is typically a blood test, but may also include a urine sample.
Interpreting Results:
Elevated levels of inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR) or the presence of certain autoantibodies (RF, anti-CCP) can suggest arthritis or other autoimmune conditions.
Types of Arthritis:
The tests can help differentiate between different types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions.

The BioFire-Respiratory Panel 2.1 is a comprehensive, multiplex PCR-based diagnostic test that simultaneously detects and identifies 22 common respiratory pathogens—including SARS-CoV-2, influenza A/B, RSV, rhinovirus/enterovirus, adenovirus and several bacteria—from a single nasopharyngeal swab sample. The panel offers rapid, accurate and actionable insights for clinicians to differentiate between viral and bacterial infections.
