Thyroglobulin Panel
Access Labcorp Draw · Access Medical LabsWhat this laboratory test evaluates
DetailsThis test measures thyroglobulin (Tg) and thyroglobulin antibodies (Anti-Tg). Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by the thyroid gland that is often used as a tumor marker in patients with thyroid cancer. It is primarily monitored after thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine treatment to detect recurrence or residual thyroid tissue. Thyroglobulin antibodies are autoantibodies directed against thyroglobulin. Elevated levels are commonly associated with autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and can interfere with thyroglobulin monitoring in thyroid cancer patients.
What type of sample is required for this test?Serum

How Sunridge uses laboratory information
Sunridge considers the medical question, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and whether the finding could change care before recommending testing. A laboratory result is not interpreted in isolation and does not establish a diagnosis by itself.
Before requesting this test
Availability, collection requirements, eligibility, and processing estimates can change. Sunridge reviews each request and, when appropriate, creates the order through Fullscript. Follow the current instructions supplied with the approved order.
