ABOUT THYROGLOBULIN TESTS
The Thyroglobulin Antibodies test measures the presence of antibodies directed against thyroglobulin, a protein produced by the thyroid gland. The presence of these antibodies often indicates an autoimmune response where the immune system attacks the thyroid, which is common in conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. This test helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders and can be used alongside other thyroid function tests for a comprehensive evaluation.
You may need this test if you have symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, such as fatigue, weight changes, swelling in the neck, or if your doctor suspects an autoimmune thyroid disorder.
The test detects antibodies against thyroglobulin in your blood.
It helps identify autoimmune activity against the thyroid gland, aiding in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune thyroid diseases.
No special preparation is needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
