Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody near me in Chandigarh

Available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Chandigarh, an Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody test helps assess the functioning of the thyroid gland. It specifically detects the presence of specific antibodies targeting thyroglobulin, a protein produced by the thyroid gland. The presence of these antibodies in the blood may indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Grave’s disease. 

This test is often performed alongside other tests such as TSH, T3, T4, and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies to provide a more comprehensive insight into thyroid function and to diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders. Also, during pregnancy, an Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody test plays an important role in assessing thyroid health and identifying potential risks to the expecting mother and the growing baby. 

Usually, no special preparation is required before undertaking an Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody. test. However, if done alongside thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4), inform your doctor about medications or supplements you are taking. While maintaining the continuity of your thyroid medications, avoid biotin (Vitamin B7), an over-the-counter supplement two days before an Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody test, as it can impact the test results.
