Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Insights Insights

Most of your values are within the normal range. This is a positive outcome, indicating that your overall metabolism and organ function are functioning well. However, there are a couple of findings that are worth discussing. Your Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine levels are high. Although they are only slightly elevated, it's important to monitor them closely. High BUN and Creatinine levels may suggest reduced kidney function or dehydration. I recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate management plan. It's worth noting that your EGFR, which is a measure of kidney function, is within the normal range. This is reassuring and suggests that your kidneys are still able to filter waste products effectively. Overall, it's important to remember that blood test results need to be interpreted in the context of your overall health and medical history. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide a more comprehensive analysis and guide you further based on these results.

Thyroglobulin

Insights Insights

Your Thyroglobulin level is high. While it's important to note that the percentage deviation from the reference range was not provided, an elevated Thyroglobulin level could potentially indicate an issue with your thyroid gland. Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by the thyroid gland, and higher than normal levels can be associated with certain thyroid conditions. To get a better understanding of the significance of this result, it's recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider. They may suggest additional tests or evaluations to better assess your thyroid function and determine the appropriate course of action, if necessary. Remember, individual interpretation of test results is crucial, so discussing them with a healthcare professional is essential for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
Thyroglobulin, LC/MS/MS
high
1.9 ng/mL

Note: Reference Range: Athyrotic: <0.4 Reference range applies to differentiated thyroid cancer patients following treatment. The presence of measurable thyroglobulin indicates the presence of thyroglobulin-producing thyroid tissue. Clinical correlation is advised. This Thyroglobulin test was performed by tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and does provide quantitative measurements of thyroglobulin in the presence of anti-Tg antibodies. Values obtained from different assay methods cannot be used interchangeably. Thyroglobulin levels, regardless of value, should not be interpreted as absolute evidence of the presence or absence of disease. This test was developed and its analytical performance characteristics have been determined by Quest Diagnostics. It has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. This assay has been validated pursuant to the CLIA regulations and is used for clinical purposes.

Thyroid Panel With TSH

Insights Insights

Your thyroid panel with TSH results are all within normal ranges, which is a good sign of your thyroid function. It's recommended that you continue to monitor your thyroid health through regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. If you experience any symptoms of thyroid issues such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, or changes in your hair and skin, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

What's this test for?

This test is designed for people who have been treated for thyroid cancer and need ongoing monitoring to ensure the cancer hasn't returned. It measures thyroglobulin, a protein produced by thyroid cells that can indicate cancer recurrence, along with comprehensive thyroid function markers and metabolic health indicators. Many people use this test as part of their regular follow-up care after thyroid cancer treatment to catch any changes early and maintain peace of mind.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. This ensures accurate results for your glucose and other metabolic markers. Results typically take about 3 business days, though if confirmation testing is needed for thyroglobulin, it may take a bit longer.

What's included in this test?

Thyroglobulin, LC/MS/Ms

This panel measures Thyroglobulin (the key tumor marker for thyroid cancer recurrence), comprehensive thyroid function markers (TSH, T4, T3 Uptake, Free T4 Index), and a complete metabolic profile including kidney function, liver enzymes, electrolytes, glucose, and calcium. The thyroglobulin measurement is crucial for detecting thyroid cancer recurrence after treatment, while the thyroid function tests ensure your remaining thyroid tissue or replacement medication is working properly. The metabolic panel provides a complete picture of your overall health and helps monitor for any treatment-related complications.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your thyroglobulin and thyroid hormone levels mean for your ongoing cancer surveillance and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations on when to follow up with your oncologist or endocrinologist, lifestyle factors to support your recovery, and which markers to watch closely. Along with your standard lab report, you can use our trends feature to track your thyroglobulin and thyroid levels over time, which is especially important for detecting any changes that might need medical attention.
When will I get my results?
You can expect your results in approximately 3 business days after your blood is drawn. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required for the thyroglobulin measurement, the turnaround time may be extended slightly to ensure accuracy. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view.
Who should consider this test?
This test is essential for anyone who has been treated for thyroid cancer, whether through surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, or other treatments. It's particularly important for people in their follow-up surveillance period who need regular monitoring of tumor markers. Your oncologist or endocrinologist typically recommends this type of testing every 6-12 months, or more frequently if there are concerns about recurrence.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
After thyroid cancer treatment, watch for symptoms like unexplained fatigue, neck swelling or lumps, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or persistent cough. Weight changes, temperature sensitivity, mood changes, or feeling unusually anxious could also indicate thyroid function issues. Even without symptoms, regular monitoring is crucial for early detection of cancer recurrence.
What is thyroglobulin and why does it matter for cancer survivors?
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced specifically by thyroid cells, both normal and cancerous. After thyroid cancer treatment that removes or destroys thyroid tissue, thyroglobulin levels should be very low or undetectable. Rising thyroglobulin levels can be an early warning sign of cancer recurrence, making it the most important tumor marker for long-term thyroid cancer surveillance and enabling early intervention if needed.
What does high thyroglobulin mean after thyroid cancer treatment?
Elevated thyroglobulin levels after thyroid cancer treatment may indicate that thyroid cancer cells are present and producing this protein. The significance depends on your treatment type and how much thyroid tissue remains. Even small increases should be discussed with your oncologist or endocrinologist, as they may recommend additional imaging or adjustments to your treatment plan.
How often should I retest thyroglobulin levels?
After initial thyroid cancer treatment, your doctor typically recommends testing thyroglobulin every 6-12 months during the first few years of surveillance. If your levels remain stable and undetectable, testing may become less frequent over time. However, if levels are rising or if you're on suppressive thyroid hormone therapy, more frequent monitoring every 3-6 months may be necessary.

What this means

Your thyroglobulin level is detectable, which may warrant attention if you've had your thyroid removed or undergone radioactive iodine treatment. While this doesn't automatically mean cancer recurrence, detectable levels should be discussed with your oncologist or endocrinologist to determine if additional monitoring or imaging is needed.

Recommended actions

Schedule a follow-up appointment with your oncologist or endocrinologist to discuss these results

Ensure you're taking thyroid hormone replacement medication as prescribed

Keep a symptom diary noting any neck swelling, difficulty swallowing, or unusual fatigue
