About This Test
The Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody Test detects antibodies directed against thyroglobulin, a key thyroid protein.
These autoantibodies are useful in the diagnosis of Autoimmune Thyroid Disease as an adjunct to anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) autoantibody: Hashimoto disease, postpartum thyroiditis, neonatal hypothyroidism and Graves disease.
Positive thyroid autoantibody levels in patients with high-normal or slightly elevated serum thyrotropin levels predict the future development of more profound hypothyroidism.
It is also useful in identification of potentially unreliable serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurements in the follow-up of patients with differentiated follicular-cell derived thyroid carcinomas.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
