Endocrine Deficiency Diagnosis

Meaning

Endocrine Deficiency Diagnosis is the systematic clinical process of identifying a sub-optimal or pathologically low production, secretion, or action of a specific hormone or hormone class within the body’s endocrine system. This diagnostic workup relies on precise laboratory assays of serum, saliva, or urine to quantify hormone levels, assess precursor availability, and evaluate the function of relevant regulatory axes. A precise diagnosis is the essential prerequisite for initiating an effective endocrine axis correction or replacement therapy.
