What is thyroglobulin antibody?

Thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement is intended to aid in monitoring for the presence of orthotropic and/or metastatic thyroid tissues in patients who have had thyroid gland ablation ( using thyroid surgery with or without radioactivity). Measurement of thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) is used to identify patient samples that may be affected by TgAb ...

How long does it take for thyroglobulin to be measured?

If TgAb is negative, serum thyroglobulin is measured by a sensitive IMA with a relatively rapid turnaround time, generally two to three days. If TgAb is positive, serum thyroglobulin is measured by an RIA method. This RIA is resistant to interference by TgAb but has a turnaround time of five to seven days.

Collection

Limitations

Thyroglobulin antibody results should be interpreted in light of the total clinical presentation of the patient, including symptoms, clinical history, data from additional tests, and other appropriate information.

Additional Information

The United States NHANES III survey reported a TgAb prevalence of approximately 10% for the general population, measured by competitive immunoassay. 1 This study reported that 3% of subjects with no risk factors for thyroid disease had detectable TgAb without associated presence of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies.
