Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody

An Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody test measures the presence of antibodies directed against the protein thyroglobulin in the blood. These antibodies are called antithyroglobulin (anti-TG) antibodies that target the thyroid gland. Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate an autoimmune response against the thyroid, which can help diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Grave’s disease.

Monitoring the levels of these antibodies helps in the diagnosis, management, and understanding of autoimmune thyroid conditions, helping doctors formulate an appropriate care plan.
