Decoding Endocrine Disorders: A Clinical Chemistry Approach to Lab Diagnosis

Endocrine disorders arise from imbalances in hormone production, secretion, or action, and their diagnosis relies heavily on principles from clinical chemistry. By analyzing biomarkers such as hormones, electrolytes, and metabolic byproducts in blood and urine, clinicians can detect conditions affecting glands like the thyroid, pancreas, adrenal, and pituitary. Advances in analytical techniques ave significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity of tests used to evaluate disorders such as Diabetes Mellitus and Hypothyroidism.

This webinar will provide a focused overview of how clinical chemistry supports accurate laboratory diagnosis, guide participants in interpreting key endocrine test results, highlight common diagnostic challenges, and demonstrate practical approaches to linking lab findings with clinical decision-making.
