High Thyroglobulin Antibodies: What Does That Mean?

[steve-wv]

My labs are as follows, just trying to figure out if I have thyroid issues;

Thyroxine T4 Free Direct- 1.16 (0.82-1.77)
Reverse T3- 18.3 (9.2-24.1)
Thyroglobulin antibodies 7.4 (0-0.9) HIGH
TPO ab -15 (0-34)
Triiodothyronine Free Serum 2.8 (2.0-4.4)
TSH- 1.83 (0.450-4.500)

Want does the thyroglobulin antibodies mean? Hashis?

I have recently been prescribed 1/2 grain of armour and supposed to titrate to higher dose if needed. Just looking for some advise, thanks.
