An anti-thryroglobulin antibody test measures the amount of antibodies to thyroglobulin in the blood and can help identify samples that may be affected by TgAb interference in a Tg test. TgAb concentrations can also be used as a tumor marker for thyroid cancer.

This test provides insights into:

• Thyroid Function: Thyroglobulin levels can reflect thyroid gland activity, assisting in the detection of thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

• Thyroid Cancer Monitoring: For individuals undergoing thyroid cancer treatment, thyroglobulin testing helps evaluate the effectiveness of therapy and detect any recurrence.

• Thyroiditis and Other Conditions: Elevated thyroglobulin levels can indicate inflammation of the thyroid gland (thyroiditis) or other thyroid-related issues.

• Post-Thyroid Surgery Monitoring: This test is often recommended for individuals who have had thyroid surgery to monitor for potential complications or remaining thyroid tissue.

The Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody Blood Test is especially valuable for those managing thyroid disorders, undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer, or experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, or neck swelling.

Typically results come back quickly but we advise that they can take up to 5 business days.
