What is a Thyroglobulin AB level test?

Question

And why would my Dr. want to test me for this?

Answer 1

It's a test for thyroid antibodies--which will show if you have a thyroid autoimmune disease. In other words, you'll see if your own immune system is attacking your thyroid, causing it to not work as well as it should. If the test is positive, then you likely have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Everybody has some antibodies, but to have Hashimoto's you'll have to have a lot.

Your doctor wants the test likely because you are exhibiting some symptoms of thyroid problems.
