High Thyroglobulin Test
by mary56, Mar 17, 2008 01:55PM
My Thyroglobulin was 161 and TPO was 30. My TSH 1.31 FT3 2.7 FT4 1.21. Is it possible to have a thyroid problem, eventhough my thyroid is is range. I have so many symptoms of thyroid disease and just feel absolutely horrible.
Please help.
Thanks

That seems like a high thyroglobulin - check the reference range on that lab to be certain. TPO may be high, depending on labs used. If antibodies are positive and TSH is 1.31 (completely normal) then thyroid medications could be tried if symptoms present, but there is not data to support this -- it would be trial and error.
