Advanced Hormone Panel Interpretation

Meaning

This is the clinical process of analyzing comprehensive blood, saliva, or urine hormone assay results, moving beyond simple reference ranges to assess complex endocrine patterns. It involves evaluating the intricate ratios, metabolites, and pulsatile release characteristics of key hormones like cortisol, thyroid hormones, and sex steroids. This detailed analysis allows for the identification of subtle dysregulations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) or hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axes. The goal is to correlate these biochemical findings with the patient’s subjective symptoms and overall physiological state, enabling highly personalized therapeutic strategies.
