Thyroglobulin antibody 175IU/ml is on the high side, which may be related to thyroiditis or impaired thyroid function and thyroid cancer or recurrence of thyroid cancer, etc. The treatment generally includes medication and surgery.
1. Drug treatment: Lymphocytic thyroiditis, subthyroiditis, suppurative thyroiditis, and high-functioning adenoma are common in clinic. These inflammatory or adenomatous diseases damage the thyroid gland. Rupture of the follicles of the thyroid gland causes the release of thyroxine into the bloodstream, which stimulates the body to produce thyroglobulin antibodies, and elevated thyroglobulin antibodies can occur.
Medications can be applied according to the thyroid function. If hypothyroidism occurs, levothyroxine sodium can be taken. If hyperthyroidism occurs, drugs such as methimazole can be taken.
2. Surgical treatment: elevated thyroglobulin antibodies can also be seen in some thyroid tumors, including malignant thyroid cancer, papillary medullary carcinoma, etc. If found to be thyroid cancer, it is necessary to receive surgical resection treatment.
Thyroglobulin antibody is also used as an indicator to monitor the recurrence of thyroid cancer, and has high sensitivity and specificity for the recurrence of thyroid cancer. Thyroglobulin antibodies may also be elevated in patients with thyroid cancer who have residual tumor tissue or metastatic lesions after surgery, requiring further surgical treatment if necessary.
There are other reasons for high thyroglobulin antibodies, and it is recommended that patients with high thyroglobulin antibodies should go to regular hospitals for further examination and treatment under the guidance of specialists.
