Serum Hormone Profiling

Meaning

Serum Hormone Profiling is the comprehensive analytical assessment of circulating steroid and peptide hormones, their binding proteins, and key metabolites within a blood sample. This process provides a static snapshot of the current endocrine milieu, essential for diagnosing deficiencies, excesses, or axis dysfunctions. Accurate profiling must consider both total and free fractions of key hormones like testosterone and thyroid hormones. This objective data forms the foundation for all subsequent endocrine management strategies. We interpret these values within the context of clinical presentation.
