Hormonal Kinetics Mapping

Meaning

A sophisticated diagnostic approach that involves the temporal and metabolic analysis of hormone levels, assessing their production rate, half-life, clearance rate, and the formation of their active and inactive metabolites over a defined period. This mapping provides a dynamic, three-dimensional view of the endocrine system, moving beyond static, single-point measurements to reveal the full pulsatile and circadian rhythm of hormone activity. It is crucial for understanding the functional impact of hormone therapies and endogenous production.
