Hormonal Assays

Meaning

Hormonal Assays are sophisticated quantitative laboratory tests employed in clinical endocrinology to accurately measure the concentration of specific hormones or their corresponding metabolites within biological samples, such as serum, saliva, or urine. These diagnostic tools are fundamental for objectively diagnosing conditions of hormonal excess or deficiency, establishing baseline endocrine status, and precisely monitoring the efficacy and safety of hormone replacement therapies. They provide an essential biochemical snapshot of systemic endocrine function.
