A member asked:
I have a lot of residual tissue left after a total thyroidectomy. it is causing my thyroglobulin antibodies to be high. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not per se: Antibodies to thyroglobulin are not an issue if you had a thyroidectomy. You will need replacement thyroid hormone.
