Measuring these antibodies helps in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhy should you have thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) tested?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTesting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat does a high level of thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat does a low level of thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA low or undetectable level of anti-TG antibodies is normal and suggests that an autoimmune reaction against the thyroid gland is likely not occurring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BloedCheckup","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47681121648986,"sku":"","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/6816\/2394\/files\/Thyreoglobulineantistoffenanti-TGschildklier.png?v=1755941904","url":"https:\/\/store.bloedcheckup.nl\/nl\/products\/thyreoglobuline-antistoffen-anti-tg-schildklier","provider":"BloedCheckup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
