Specimen Collection & Preparation

Specimen Requirements:

-OR-

2.0 mL Serum from a Red Top Tube in a Plastic Vial
Minimum Volume:
1.0 mL Serum*

* This volume does not allow for repeat testing

Clinical Interpretation

Reference Range:

Thyroglobulin Adults: 2.8 - 40.9 ng/mL
Thyroglobulin Antibodies: < 60 IU/mL


Test Comments:

Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TGAB) interfere with Thyroglobulin (TG) assays; therefore, a TGAB assay should always be performed in conjunction with a TG assay.


Methodology:
  • Electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA)
  • Immunoassay (IA)
