Recent trends in clinical chemistry for optimal patients care
Overview:
A hormone is a chemical substance produced in the body by an organ, cells of an organ, or scattered cells, having a specific regulatory effect on the activity of organs. For optimal patient care, accurate and specific measurement of hormones such as vitamin D, thyroid hormones, and testosterone, is important. These hormones are measured by a variety of analytical techniques, including bioassay, immunoassay, and mass spectrometry interfaced with liquid chromatography. In this section, we will provide useful information about the analytical details for individual hormones using such techniques and clinical implications of these hormones assays.
