Diagnostic Tools To Help You Feel Your Best
What is a Hormone Panel?
A hormone panel is a set of hormone tests administered based on gender, typically by taking a sample of saliva (although blood and plasma can also be used). The test is more used more commonly on aging patients. This test is conducted specifically when there appears to be an abnormal change in metabolism. They are also regularly performed on patients who are receiving hormone replacement therapy. The most common tests in the panel are the three sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It's possible to test for a variety of other hormones as well, depending on each patient’s symptoms.

If you are suffering symptoms that may be related to hormone imbalances, a hormone panel is an effective way to quantify the causes. Hormone production is the method by which endocrine glands control much of the body’s function. Appropriate testing of hormone levels can identify these disturbances and provide a solution.
