Antithyroglobulin Antibodies (ATG) testing, integrated within the Healthesh system, is a diagnostic procedure used to detect the presence of antibodies directed against thyroglobulin, a protein produced by the thyroid gland. Elevated levels of ATG antibodies are associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but can also be present in other thyroid conditions such as Graves’ disease.

The ATG antibody test is performed on blood samples and measures the levels of antibodies targeting thyroglobulin. Elevated ATG antibody levels indicate an autoimmune response against the thyroid gland, which may lead to inflammation and destruction of thyroid tissue, resulting in hypothyroidism.

Integrating ATG antibody testing within the Healthesh system allows for efficient analysis and interpretation of results, aiding healthcare professionals in diagnosing and managing autoimmune thyroid disorders effectively. This comprehensive approach to antibody testing contributes to improved patient care and outcomes.
