Endogenous Hormone Production Monitoring

Meaning

Endogenous Hormone Production Monitoring involves the serial measurement and analysis of hormones synthesized intrinsically by the body’s endocrine glands, such as the adrenals or gonads. This practice assesses the inherent capacity and rhythmicity of the body’s own production capabilities independent of exogenous supplementation. It is essential for diagnosing primary glandular failure versus central regulatory dysfunction within the pituitary or hypothalamus. Consistent monitoring provides insight into the trajectory of endocrine health over time.
