TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb) Price in Bangladesh

What is TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb)?

The TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb) test measures the presence of antibodies that target the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor, often used to diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Graves' disease. No special preparation is usually required, and a blood sample is drawn from a vein.

Risks include mild discomfort, bruising, or infection at the puncture site. Positive results may indicate Graves' disease or other thyroid-related autoimmune conditions, while negative results suggest no autoimmune thyroid disorder.

Certain medications or conditions may affect results. Normal activities can be resumed after the test.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
