Test Overview & Methodology
The TSH Antibody (TRAb) test detects autoantibodies against the thyroid‑stimulating hormone receptor, essential for diagnosing Graves’ disease and differentiating autoimmune thyroid disorders. The methodology uses Radioimmunoassay (RIA), the international reference standard, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity.
| Feature | Our TSH Antibody Test | Closest Alternative (Standard Lab) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% Sensitivity (RIA, ISO‑validated) | Variable sensitivity, older immunoassays |
| Methodology | Radioimmunoassay (RIA) – international reference standard | Enzyme‑linked immunoassay (ELISA), lower specificity |
| Turnaround Time | 10–14 business days from sample receipt | Often 4–6 weeks or unavailable locally |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
A Note from Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA: 36234132):
The TSH Antibody test helps confirm Graves’ disease and track treatment response. Interpreting results requires correlation with symptoms and thyroid function tests. Always consult your physician before making changes to your medication. Your health journey is unique, and I am here to guide you through every step.
Medication Advisory
⚠️ Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue prescribed thyroid or antithyroid medication without consulting your doctor. Abrupt changes may trigger severe thyroid storm or myxedema complications.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the TSH Antibody test used for?
The TSH Antibody test measures autoantibodies against TSH receptors, primarily used to diagnose Graves’ disease and predict relapse. It differentiates Graves’ disease from other causes of hyperthyroidism and helps monitor treatment response in patients on antithyroid drugs or after radioiodine therapy.
2. Why does the TSH Antibody test cost 2500 AED in the UAE?
The cost reflects the specialised send-out RIA methodology, international reference lab processing, and mandatory consent form logistics. This includes cold‑chain shipment to a global centre of excellence, rigorous quality controls, and comprehensive clinical reporting compliant with DHA standards.
3. How should I prepare for the TSH Antibody test?
No fasting required; simply provide a blood sample with the signed Send Out Consent Form (Form 35). The sample is 2 mL serum collected in a special SST tube; our phlebotomist handles all pre‑analytical requirements at your home via VIP Mobile Phlebotomy.
