What is ANTI THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODY; ANTI Tg?

This test measures the level of antibodies against thyroglobulin, a protein produced by the thyroid gland. These antibodies can indicate an autoimmune response where your body mistakenly attacks its own thyroid tissue.

Why is this test important?

Detecting Anti-Tg antibodies is important for diagnosing and monitoring autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. It can also be used to monitor patients with certain types of thyroid cancer.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
