Hormone Test?

Hormone tests are diagnostic evaluations used to measure the levels of various hormones in the body. These tests help diagnose hormonal imbalances and related medical conditions. Common hormone tests include:

  1. Thyroid Function Tests:

    • Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Assesses thyroid gland function and helps diagnose hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
    • Free T3 and Free T4: Measures the levels of active thyroid hormones to evaluate thyroid function.

  2. Sex Hormone Tests:

    • Estrogen (Estradiol): Evaluates levels in women to diagnose menstrual irregularities, menopause, and fertility issues.
    • Progesterone: Measures levels in women to assess ovulation and fertility.
    • Testosterone: Assesses levels in both men and women to diagnose conditions like hypogonadism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and hormonal imbalances.
    • Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Evaluates reproductive health and function in both men and women.

  3. Adrenal Hormone Tests:

    • Cortisol: Measures adrenal gland function and helps diagnose conditions like Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome.
    • Aldosterone: Assesses adrenal function and helps diagnose conditions affecting blood pressure and electrolyte balance.

  4. Pituitary Hormone Tests:

    • Growth Hormone (GH): Evaluates pituitary function and helps diagnose growth disorders.
    • Prolactin: Measures levels to diagnose pituitary disorders and causes of abnormal lactation.

  5. Parathyroid Hormone (PTH): Assesses parathyroid gland function and helps diagnose conditions affecting calcium levels in the body.

  6. Insulin and Glucose Tests:

    • Insulin: Measures insulin levels to assess pancreatic function and diagnose conditions like diabetes and insulin resistance.
    • Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT): Evaluates how well the body processes glucose and helps diagnose diabetes.

  7. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH): Measures ovarian reserve in women and helps assess fertility.

  8. Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S): Assesses adrenal function and helps diagnose conditions related to androgen production.
