Overview

Antithyroglobulin antibody (or Thyroid antithyroglobulin antibody or Thyroglobulin antibody) is a test to measure antibodies to a protein called thyroglobulin, which is found in thyroid cells.

Complete differential diagnosis

A negative test is normal. A negative tests means no antibodies to thyroglobulin are found in blood. A positive test means antithyroglobulin antibodies are found in blood. This may be due to:

• Grave's disease
• Hashimoto's thyroiditis
• Hypothyroidism
• Myxedema
• Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
• Thyroid cancer
• Thyrotoxicosis
• Type 1 diabetes

Pregnant women and relatives of those with autoimmune thyroiditis may also test positive for these antibodies.
