Thyroglobulin Antibody (TgAb) Analysis
Thyroglobulin Antibody (TgAb) Analysis measures the level of antibodies against thyroglobulin in the blood. Thyroglobulin is a protein produced and used by the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones. The presence of antibodies against this protein can indicate autoimmune thyroid disorders.
Reference Range:
Normal Range: Less than 115 IU/mL.

Thyroglobulin Antibody (TgAb) Analysis serves as a crucial diagnostic tool for detecting autoimmune thyroid disorders and monitoring thyroid cancer survivors. Treatment for autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy to manage hypothyroid symptoms effectively. Regular monitoring of TgAb levels is essential to evaluate the progression of autoimmune thyroid disease and the response to treatment. For thyroid cancer survivors, consistent testing of TgAb, along with thyroglobulin levels, is vital to detect any recurrence of cancer. Overall, maintaining vigilance through regular TgAb assessments is key to managing thyroid health, ensuring that interventions are timely and appropriate for conditions related to thyroid dysfunction and cancer.
