What are thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG)?
Thyroglobulin antibodies are immune proteins that the body mistakenly produces against thyroglobulin, a protein that the thyroid gland uses to store and produce thyroid hormones. Measuring these antibodies helps in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disorders.
Why should you have thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) tested?
Testing for anti-TG is useful when there are symptoms indicative of thyroid dysfunction, such as fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings. It is also relevant for monitoring known thyroid disorders or evaluating the risks of developing these conditions.
What does it indicate?
The presence of anti-TG antibodies may indicate autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease. These conditions affect the production of thyroid hormones, which can lead to various health problems.
What does a high level of thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) mean?
A high level of anti-TG antibodies indicates an autoimmune reaction against the thyroid gland, which can result in reduced function or inflammation of the thyroid (thyroiditis). This can lead to hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) or, in rare cases, hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid).
What does a low level of thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) mean?
A low or undetectable level of anti-TG antibodies is normal and suggests that an autoimmune reaction against the thyroid gland is likely not occurring.
