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.
