Blood test results: Why would my thyroglobulin be high?

Posted by jordana9110 @jordana9110, 1 day ago

So I went for blood test last week and found out my cholesterol is high and thyroid is high.
Went back to doctor and they wanted me to go for another blood test and seems like Thyroglobulin Is high. What does that mean?

Hi @jordana9110 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I am not medically trained and don’t know much. You don’t mention how high your thyroglobulin is or why your doctor wanted to follow-up and test it. It does sound like it is something your doctor thinks needs exploring related to your thyroid gland.

What prompted you to get bloodwork done, maybe routine or were you having symptoms? You mention your thyroid is high. What specifically? What is next?

@jlharsh the reason was because I have missed one period already. That’s why she ordered a blood test
