Thyroglobulin Antibody

Alias:

Anit-Thyroglobulin Antibody, Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody, TG (Thyroglobulin), TG (Thyroglobulin) Antibody, Thyroglobulin Antibody

Methodology:

Electrochemiluminescence

Performed:

Monday-Friday 8:00a to 10:00p
Saturday-Sunday 9:00a to 5:00p

Analytical Time:

1 day

Testing Laboratory:

Pathology Laboratory

Laboratory Section:

Core Laboratory

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.

Thyroglobulin Antibody

Container/Tube Type:

Red (No Additive)
SST (Serum Separator)

Transport Information:

3.0 mL blood/1.0 mL serum. Allow specimens to clot, centrifuge, and separate serum from cells asap.

Minimum Sample Volume: Minimum amount of analytical sample (serum, plasma, urine, CSF, etc.) required to perform an assay once. Submitting the minimum volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or reflex testing. In some situations, a minimum specimen volume may result in a QNS (Quantity Not Sufficient) result, requiring a second specimen to be collected.
