NEGATIVE
-------------- TGAA SCREENING TEST INTERPRETATION -----------------< 20% = Negative; 20%-35% = Equivocal; > 35% = Positive
...
Elevated TGAA levels confirm autoimmune thyroiditis. False positive
results can occur if the dog has been vaccinated within 30 to 40
days. Thyroid hormone supplementation can decrease TGAA levels.
...
All equivocal and positive TGAA screening test results are
verified by the confirmatory NSB (non-specific binding) test.

Dear Colleague: The TgAA is negative, so his sluggish basal thyroid levels are not due to
autoimmune thyroiditis at this time. Please refer to earlier report for treatment suggestions. Jean
