Steady-State Hormone Levels

Meaning

Steady-State Hormone Levels describe a condition where the concentration of a specific hormone in the circulation remains relatively constant over a defined period, typically measured across a 24-hour cycle or longer treatment duration. This is the desired outcome in many therapeutic applications, such as hormone replacement, contrasting with the dynamic fluctuations of natural endocrine rhythms. Achieving this state implies that the rate of hormone production/administration equals the rate of clearance.
