Hormonal Kinetic Mapping

Meaning

Hormonal Kinetic Mapping is a sophisticated diagnostic and analytical process used to precisely chart the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of administered or endogenous hormones within an individual’s physiological system over a defined time course. This goes beyond static level measurements by revealing the dynamic half-lives, peak concentrations, and clearance rates of hormones and their metabolites. Clinically, this mapping is indispensable for designing bioidentical hormone replacement regimens, ensuring stable and physiologically accurate hormone exposure to target tissues, thereby maximizing efficacy and minimizing potential side effects. It provides a comprehensive, time-resolved understanding of hormonal bioavailability.
