Hormone Measurement Standardization

Meaning

Hormone Measurement Standardization refers to the rigorous process of ensuring that assays used to quantify circulating hormones produce results that are accurate, precise, and comparable across different laboratories, instruments, and methodologies. This is vital because clinical decisions regarding replacement or suppression therapies rely entirely on the reliability of these quantitative data points. Lack of standardization introduces analytical variability, which can lead to inappropriate therapeutic adjustments or misdiagnosis of endocrine states. We strive for reference range comparability globally.
