TBG THYROXINE BINDING GLOBULIN Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TBG THYROXINE BINDING GLOBULIN Test at a cost of AED 1280.0.
Test Details
The TBG (Thyroxine Binding Globulin) test is a blood test that measures the level of TBG in the blood. TBG is a protein produced by the liver that binds to the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) to transport them through the bloodstream. This test is primarily used to evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
High levels of TBG can lead to an increase in total thyroid hormone levels, while low levels can cause a decrease in total thyroid hormone levels. The TBG test is often performed as part of a comprehensive thyroid panel, which may include tests for TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), T4, T3, and thyroid antibodies. These tests help determine if there is an underlying thyroid condition and guide treatment decisions.
It’s important to note that the TBG test alone cannot diagnose a specific thyroid disorder, and additional tests and clinical evaluation are often necessary for a complete diagnosis. It is typically ordered by an endocrinologist if they suspect a thyroid disorder based on symptoms or abnormal thyroid function test results.
