What is the Origin of Clinical Laboratory Values?

The practice of utilizing laboratory data for clinical decision-making is rooted in the early 20th century with the standardization of biochemical assays and the establishment of clinical pathology as a medical discipline. The concept of a "normal range" or reference interval evolved from statistical analysis of healthy populations. Modern endocrinology relies heavily on these values for hormone assessment.

What is the Mechanism of Clinical Laboratory Values?

Laboratory instruments employ validated analytical techniques, such as mass spectrometry or immunoassays, to measure the concentration or activity of specific analytes, including hormones, enzymes, and metabolites. These measurements provide clinicians with data reflecting the dynamic state of the endocrine system and other physiological axes. Interpretation requires correlation with the patient's clinical presentation and the specific methodology used for the assay.

Clinical Laboratory Values ∞ Area

Clinical Laboratory Values

Meaning

Quantitative or qualitative results obtained from the analysis of biological specimens, such as blood, urine, or saliva, in a clinical laboratory setting. These values serve as objective biomarkers for assessing physiological function, diagnosing disease states, and monitoring therapeutic interventions. They are typically compared against established reference ranges to identify deviations from health-associated norms.
