Chemical Drift

Meaning

Chemical Drift refers to the subtle, often gradual, deviation of key circulating analytes, such as specific hormones or their downstream markers, away from their established homeostatic set points over time. This phenomenon describes a slow, accumulating shift in the biochemical milieu rather than an acute pathological event. Recognizing this drift is vital in chronic wellness monitoring where slight, persistent changes can precede significant clinical manifestations.
