Diagnostic value of thyroglobulin and antithyroglobulin antibody in the early follow-up of well differentiated thyroid carcinoma

Undetectable TSH-stimulated serum Tg level in the absence of antithyroglobulin antibody (AbTg) indicates complete remission. Circulating AbTg may interfere with Tg assay and may cause false negative results. Moreover, undetectable Tg is observed in a part of patients after total thyroidectomy(TT), even if serum AbTg concentration is low.Th...
