Zusammenfassung

Thyroglobulin (TG) is a dimeric glycoprotein produced exclusively by mature thyroid tissue and stored within the follicular lumen.

It is essential for the organification of iodine and the production of thyroid hormones.

The concentration of TG in the bloodstream varies between individuals and depends on factors such as thyroid mass, stimulation of the gland by thyrotropin or autoantibodies, and tissue destruction.

TG is essential to monitor patients with differentiated thyroid cancer; however, its use is not limited only to this clinical entity.

Measurement of circulating TG can provide better insight into numerous clinical scenarios, such as destructive thyroiditis, presence of ectopic thyroid tissue, thyroid trauma, factitious thyrotoxicosis, or iodine nutrition.

Lately, TG has found its new clinical use in immune checkpoint-related thyroid dysfunction.

TG measurement should be performed carefully in patients with antithyroglobulin antibodies due to possible laboratory interferences.

In this review, we offer a summary of current knowledge about the clinical use of TG and the implications it brings to daily practice.
