This essential step ensures that the test results accurately reflect the patient’s true physiological status, which is paramount for correct diagnosis and effective treatment titration in hormonal health. Validation protocols establish key performance characteristics such as precision, accuracy, specificity, and linearity across the clinically relevant range. Clinicians rely on validated methods to make informed decisions regarding patient care.
