Thyroglobulin (Tg)
Indications for thyroglobulin (Tg) testing :
- Monitoring of differentiated thyroid cancer treatment
- Observation of people exposed by radiation with a risk for the development of thyroid disease
Thyroglobulin (Tg) — is the primary protein substrate (with molecular mass of about 660 kDa) in the formation of thyroid hormones, constituting the bulk of the colloid of the thyroid gland.
The reference range for thyroglobulin (Tg) in blood serum is < 50 µg/L.
