NOTES FROM THE LAB

Hello! My name is Jamila Quaye and I am a senior biomedical scientist with a specialism in haematology, here at One Day Tests laboratory.

Thyroglobulin (TGA) - description and reference ranges

What is it?

Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by your thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine and triodothyronine are important here, as they are not normally released into your blood stream.

So if your blood shows elevated levels of Thyroglobulin antibodies, it may point in a direction of an inflamed thyroid or a general thyroid issue, such as hyperthyroidism, Graves′ or Hashimoto diseases.

Reference ranges

If your indicative TGA level is lower than the reference range for our laboratory:

In general, Hashimoto′s thyroiditis can cause your thyroid to not make enough thyroid hormone.

It is, however, essential to look at all of the thyroid markers and your symptoms, such as enlarged thyroid gland, constant tiredness, weight changes and muscles state.

We recommend you discuss this result with your GP.

If your indicative TGA level is higher than the reference range for our laboratory:

High levels of antithyroglobulin antibodies in your blood may be a sign of an autoimmune disorder, such as Hashimoto thyroiditis or Graves’ disease.

You should discuss this result with your GP.

    WHAT DISEASES CAUSE LOW FERRITIN?

    Low ferritin levels are a common finding on blood tests and often raise questions about iron stores and overall health. Ferritin reflects how much iron your body has stored, and when levels are low, it can point to underlying medical conditions rather than diet alone.

    WHAT DOES FERRITIN LEVEL TELL YOU?

    Ferritin levels offer valuable insight into how much iron your body has stored and how well it can meet its ongoing needs. While iron is often discussed in relation to anaemia, ferritin goes a step further by showing whether iron reserves are low, adequate, or elevated. Because symptoms linked to iron imbalance can be vague and develop gradually, ferritin testing is often used to investigate unexplained fatigue, weakness, or changes in physical performance.

    WHAT ARE 5 SIGNS YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IS TOO HIGH?

    High blood sugar, also known as hyperglycaemia, can develop gradually and may go unnoticed for some time. In the early stages, symptoms are often subtle and easily mistaken for everyday fatigue, dehydration, or stress. Because of this, many people do not realise their blood sugar is elevated until levels remain high for a prolonged period or complications begin to develop.
