What is a Thyroglobulin Test in Kolkata?

The Thyroglobulin Test in Kolkata measures the amount of thyroglobulin protein in your blood. This protein is produced by the thyroid gland and is used as a tumour marker for monitoring thyroid cancer. After thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy, thyroglobulin levels should drop to nearly zero. If levels rise later, it may indicate remaining thyroid tissue or cancer recurrence.

A blood sample is collected in a gel vacutainer and analysed using the ECLIA method.

What Does a Thyroglobulin Test Measure in Kolkata?

The test provides key information for post-treatment thyroid monitoring:

  • Cancer Treatment Monitoring: Evaluates how well thyroid cancer treatment has worked.
  • Recurrence Detection: Identifies whether thyroid cancer has returned after surgery or therapy.
  • Residual Tissue Check: Determines if any thyroid tissue remains in the body.
  • Post-Treatment Follow-Up: Helps plan further management after thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine therapy.
  • Therapy Effectiveness: Assesses overall success of thyroid cancer treatment.
