Biomarker Artifact Generation

Meaning

Biomarker Artifact Generation denotes the creation of misleading or inaccurate biochemical markers during the pre-analytical, analytical, or post-analytical phases of laboratory testing. These artifacts are not true reflections of the patient’s in vivo physiological state but are introduced errors that can lead to misinterpretation of hormonal or metabolic health status. Recognizing and mitigating biomarker artifact generation is essential for maintaining the fidelity of diagnostic and monitoring procedures in clinical endocrinology. Clinicians must exercise diligence in sample collection and processing to ensure accurate results.
