Watch our Movie (1.3 min.) about the Blood Test for Thyroglobulin. Dr. A.S. Basareva will tell you about the meaning and decoding of this indicator.

Thyreoglobulin (Tg) - is a protein formation - a protein formed by the cells of the thyroid gland. Thyroglobulin accumulates in the structural and functional unit of the gland - the follicle - as a colloid (a liquid substance with a suspension containing hormones). When hormones (T4 and T3) are released from the thyroid gland, Thyreoglobulin enters the bloodstream along with the hormones. Therefore, it is normal for a blood test to detect a certain amount of thyreoglobulin.
