    Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels are significantly higher in patients with low-thyrotropin (low-TSH) conditions compared to normal and high-TSH groups.

  • 2

    In the low-TSH group, elevated Tg levels correlate positively with the FT3/FT4 ratio, indicating a relationship with thyroid hormone dynamics.

  • 3

    Patients positive for TSH-receptor antibodies (TRAb) or thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb) show elevated Tg levels exclusively in the low-TSH group.

  • 4

    The study suggests that serum Tg levels may reflect biochemical features consistent with T3 predominance in autoimmune hyperthyroidism.

  • 5

    Understanding Tg variability is crucial for accurate clinical interpretation and optimizing its diagnostic utility in diverse thyroid conditions.
