TSH

Thyroglobulin antibodies can cause problems by attacking thyroglobulin, a protein important for making thyroid hormones. If there is a lot of these antibodies in the blood, it may mean there is an autoimmune thyroid disorder like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. These antibodies can affect thyroid function and are often used in tests for thyroid conditions.

Thyroxine (T4) is a major hormone produced by the thyroid, a small gland in the neck. The Thyroid helps control energy use, weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and the nervous system. This test is used to detect and monitor thyroid disorders, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid gland. It also helps diagnose pituitary gland disorders. Thyroxine (T4) makes up most of the thyroid hormone, while triiodothyronine (T3) makes up less than 10%.

Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3) test measures the amount of T3 hormone that is not attached to transport proteins in the blood. T3 is one of two major hormones made by the thyroid, a small gland located near the throat. The Thyroid helps regulate energy use, weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and the nervous system. This test helps diagnose, assess and monitor thyroid disorders, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid gland and aids diagnoses of pituitary gland disorders.

Free Thyroxine ( Free T4) is the active form of the thyroxine hormone. Thyroxine (T4) is one of two major hormones made by the thyroid, a small gland located near the throat. The Thyroid helps regulate energy use, weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and the nervous system. This test helps diagnose, assess and monitor thyroid disorders, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid gland and aids diagnoses of pituitary gland disorders.

Thyroglobulin is like a storage unit in the thyroid gland that holds iodine and makes hormones . Thyroglobulin levels are directly related to thyroid size. Any condition that makes the thyroid enlarge can raise thyroglobulin levels, several diseases which can cause this are thyroid cancer, autoimmune disorders, or tissue growth nodules.
