Interpretive Data: 

The measured anti-Tg value of a patient's sample can vary depending on the testing procedure used. 

Anti-Tg values determined on patient samples by different testing procedures cannot be directly compared with one another and could be the cause of erroneous medical interpretations. 

If there is a change in the anti-Tg assay procedure used while monitoring therapy, then the anti-Tg values obtained upon changing over to the new procedure must be confirmed by parallel measurements with both methods.
