Brief Answer:
Raised levels of thyroglobulin indicate autoimmune basis of vitiligo

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

Thyroglobulin antibodies are present in 1 in 10 normal persons.
You are having raised levels of thyroglobulin antibodies which indicates an autoimmune basis of your vitiligo.

However, it won't have any impact on the treatment and prognosis of vitiligo.

It just indicates that your vitiligo seems to be autoimmune.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr Asmeet

Yes the levels of these antibodies can go down.
They are raised even in persons with normal thyroid function.
They basically indicate association with an autoimmune disease like vitiligo.
Other than this these antibodies don't have much significance.
