Antithyroglobulin antibodies of 836 IU/ml is considered high, but whether it is serious or not needs to be judged in conjunction with the cause and condition.
Elevated anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TG) may be caused by autoimmune thyroid disease, hyperthyroidism, recurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma, and so on.
1. Autoimmune thyroid disease: such as Graves’ disease, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, etc., the patient’s immune system is abnormal, under the stimulation of the immune system will secrete too much thyroid hormone, which will cause TG elevation, the prognosis of timely and standardized treatment is better, and it is relatively not serious. If the treatment is not timely can be induced by thyroid mucous edema coma is more serious.
2. Hyperthyroidism: patients with increased synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, thyroid hormones can synthesize thyroglobulin, which may lead to elevated TG, oral antithyroid medication is required. If the treatment is not timely and standardized, the condition will be serious if thyroid crisis is induced.
3. Recurrence of papillary thyroid cancer: thyroglobulin plays an important role in monitoring whether papillary thyroid cancer recurs after resection. When patients with papillary thyroid cancer have high thyroglobulin level after surgery, it usually indicates recurrence or distant metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer, which is relatively serious and may require reoperation.
If the patient develops thyroglobulin antibody of 836IU/ml, it is recommended to go to the hospital to improve further examination and make a clear diagnosis.
