This method is used for detecting thyroglobulin in patient with thyroid cancer after thyroidectomy in the presence of anti- thyroglobulin antibodies. Your result was reportedly because it is supposed to be very low or undetectable in patient with thyroidectomy. In another word, your level of 12.5 is normal for a patient with intact thyroid.
