A-TG

Anti-Thyroglobulin (A-TG) antibodies are immune system proteins that attack thyroglobulin, a key protein in the thyroid gland essential for producing thyroid hormones. Elevated A-TG levels can be a sign of autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease. These disorders can lead to various symptoms, impacting thyroid function and overall health. Monitoring A-TG levels is crucial in diagnosing and managing these thyroid conditions....

Who should consider A-TG antibody testing?

Individuals showing symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, those with a family history of thyroid issues, or anyone diagnosed with other autoimmune diseases should consider A-TG antibody testing. This test can be a crucial step in identifying underlying autoimmune thyroid disorders.

What do high levels of A-TG antibodies indicate?

High A-TG antibody levels typically suggest an autoimmune attack on the thyroid, often seen in conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. These antibodies target thyroglobulin, affecting thyroid hormone production and leading to various health issues related to thyroid function.

Is it possible to have elevated A-TG antibodies without a thyroid condition?

While rare, some individuals might have high A-TG antibodies without clear signs of thyroid disease initially. However, this scenario often requires careful monitoring and further evaluation to rule out or confirm a developing thyroid condition.

Can A-TG antibody levels fluctuate over time?

Yes, A-TG antibody levels can change, particularly with the progression or treatment of thyroid disease.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
