Hormonal Diagnostic Markers

Meaning

Hormonal Diagnostic Markers are specific, quantifiable biochemical substances, predominantly hormones or their distinct metabolites, measured in biological fluids like blood, saliva, or urine, that serve as objective indicators of endocrine function, disease, or physiological status. These markers provide clinicians with essential data to accurately assess the secretory activity of endocrine glands, monitor the efficacy of hormonal treatments, and identify specific conditions such as thyroid dysfunction, adrenal insufficiency, or reproductive axis disorders. Their accurate measurement is foundational to evidence-based hormonal health management.
