What Thyroglobulin measures
Thyroglobulin is a protein made by the thyroid gland.
If your Thyroglobulin is low
Low thyroglobulin is expected after thyroid removal and otherwise rarely notable.
Commonly associated with
- Thyroid removal
- Thyroglobulin antibodies affecting the assay
If your Thyroglobulin is high
Thyroglobulin above the range is commonly associated with an enlarged or inflamed thyroid; it is mainly used for follow-up after thyroid surgery.

Typical reference range
| Group | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Adults | 1.5 – 38.5 ng/mL |
Typical adult values used by many US labs. Your own report prints the range your lab validated for its method, and that range is the one that counts. Labwise always uses the printed range first.
If it is within range
Your thyroglobulin is within the range printed by your lab.
