Book a Test- Serum Thyroglobulin

Serum Thyroglobulin is a blood test that measures the level of thyroglobulin, a protein produced by the thyroid gland, in the blood. Thyroglobulin is a key component of thyroid hormone production and is normally present in small amounts in the blood. The test is commonly used to monitor patients with thyroid cancer, particularly after thyroidectomy surgery, to detect any residual or recurrent cancer cells. Elevated serum thyroglobulin levels can indicate the presence of thyroid cancer cells, while low levels suggest that the cancer has been successfully treated. The test is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound and radioactive iodine scans, to monitor thyroid cancer patients. By measuring serum thyroglobulin levels, healthcare providers can assess the effectiveness of treatment and detect any potential recurrence of thyroid cancer at an early stage.
