Also known as: Tg Panel with HAMA Treatment, Thyroglobulin (Tg) Panel with HAMA Treatment
The Thyroglobulin Panel with HAMA Treatment test contains 1 test with 2 biomarkers.
Thyroglobulin (TG) is a secretory product only of the thyroid gland. The major clinical use of serum TG measurement is to monitor, but not to diagnose, patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancers. The measurement of thyroglobulin, after thyroidectomy and ablation of the thyroid gland, is useful to determine metastasis. Deficient TG synthesis is observed in infants with goitrous hypothyroidism.
