Serum iron, TIBC & Percent saturation are widely used for the diagnosis of Iron deficiency. This assay is useful for screening Chronic iron overload diseases particulary Hemochromatosis. Percent saturation is usually normal or increased in Iron deficiency, Pregnancy & intake of oral contraceptives. Low TIBC is seen in Chronic inflammatory conditions, Hemochromatosis & Malignancies. Serum ferritin is a more sensitive & reliable indicator of Iron deficiency.

An antithyroid microsomal antibody (AMA) test, also known as a thyroid peroxidase test, measures the level of antibodies in the blood that attack thyroid peroxidase.
Purpose
To confirm the cause of thyroid problems
To determine if an autoimmune disorder is damaging the thyroid
When to get tested
If you are experiencing symptoms like sweating, fatigue, sudden weight gain or loss, hair loss, anxiety, itching, abdominal pain, jaundice, dry eyes or dry mouth, or fluid buildup around the abdomen, feet, or ankles
Test procedure
A blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand
No fasting is required
Results
The normal range of AMA is < 9 IU/mL
The presence of these antibodies indicates damage to the thyroid cells or the presence of other autoimmune diseases
Associated conditions Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Grave’s disease.
Other tests
A doctor may order this test along with other tests to help diagnose thyroid problems or other autoimmune conditions

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.
