Comprehensive Endocrine Evaluation

Meaning

A Comprehensive Endocrine Evaluation is a detailed clinical and laboratory investigation designed to systematically assess the function of multiple glands and axes within the body’s endocrine system, moving beyond the measurement of a single hormone. This process involves collecting a thorough patient history, performing a physical examination, and ordering advanced diagnostic tests, which often include dynamic testing and measurement of both free hormones and their metabolic end products. The goal is to uncover subtle or complex hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, or reproductive issues. This holistic approach ensures a precise understanding of the intricate hormonal network.
