Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Do you have the Tg antibodies? Is there a number there? Tg wouldn't be reliable if you have antibodies, so maybe was not done. Also, some endos (including my _former_ one) don't test Tg, but I did get them to test TgAb (I asked the nurse to add Tg, but it turned out to be TgAb, and since I have those buggers it didn't really matter.) bj Thyroid Blood Tests > I see results for: > > T3, total > T-3 uptake > T-4 (thyroxine), total > Free T4 index (T7) > TSH > Thyroglobulin Antibodies > Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies > > Are the " thyroglobulin antibodies " TgAb?

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Yes, it shows 5H for thyroglobulin antibodies. This number should start to go down, right?
