Comprehensive Diagnostic Workup

Meaning

A Comprehensive Diagnostic Workup is a systematic, multi-faceted clinical investigation designed to establish a precise etiology for complex or ambiguous health complaints. This process extends beyond routine blood tests, incorporating advanced laboratory assays, imaging studies, and detailed patient history and physical examination. In the context of hormonal health, it often involves specialized testing for endocrine reserves, hormone metabolites, and functional markers of cellular stress and inflammation. The goal is to move beyond symptomatic treatment to identify and address the root physiological cause of dysfunction.
