TgAb (Anti-Tg)
Thyroglobulin Antibodies
- • Attacks thyroglobulin protein
- • Found in Hashimoto's thyroiditis
- • Used in thyroid cancer monitoring
- • Normal: <40 IU/mL
Conditions Diagnosed
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Most common cause of hypothyroidism. High TPO and/or TgAb antibodies indicate autoimmune attack on thyroid.
