Confusion with Test Results--I have no idea-- Thyroglobulin levels??

[Guest guest]

Recent blood tests reveal:

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies <10 (Ref Range <35 IU/mL)

My Thyroid Antibodies <20 (Ref Range <20 IU/mL)

My Thyroglobulin 38.1 H (Ref Range 2.0-35.0ng/mL)

Is this something? The endo circled it.

I can't find anything about the thyroglobulin unless it refers to cancer and/or

removal of thyroid. I still have mine. No surgery.

Thanks so much.

There is a correlation between higher thyroglobulin (Tg) levels and iodine deficiency:

Tg is a protein used in the binding to iodine process for thyroid hormone creation. The body creates more in an effort to have more opportunity to produce more thyroid hormone.

Thank you for the information. I tried reading it but it is a bit

technical for me.
