Endocrinology Testing

The Purpose of Endocrinology Testing

The endocrine system is responsible for coordinating and balancing all hormone levels throughout the body. Glands, organs and tissues are capable of producing and secreting hormones, which regulate the activity of cells. Functions in the body including sexual development, metabolism, and growth are all controlled and coordinated by the endocrine system. However, sometimes this tight hormone regulation of proper body function fails. Examples of hormone-relate diseases include diabetes, hyperthyroidism and osteoporosis.

Through hormone level testing, the ranges of each hormone can be identified, and those out-of-range can be further explored to better understand what the differences may be attributed to and physicians can use this information in optimal clinical decision making.

At Platinum Diagnostic Labs, patients and physicians can count on quality service for hormone and endocrinology tests, amongst other types of blood testing.
