Dynamic Testing

Meaning

Dynamic Testing in endocrinology is a specialized clinical methodology that involves administering a precisely defined stimulatory or suppressive agent and subsequently measuring the change in hormone levels over a defined period. This approach is utilized to assess the functional reserve, responsiveness, and integrity of an endocrine gland or axis, providing more comprehensive data than a single static measurement. It is crucial for diagnosing subtle deficiencies or excesses within the complex hormonal feedback loops.
