Steroid Panel 1 6 Steroids Test
Comprehensive Hormone Analysis for Optimal Endocrine Health
The Steroid Panel 1 6 Steroids Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic approach to evaluating adrenal function and steroid hormone metabolism. This comprehensive panel utilizes cutting-edge Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology to provide precise measurements of six critical steroid hormones that play essential roles in maintaining physiological balance, stress response, and metabolic regulation.
What This Advanced Test Measures
Our Steroid Panel 1 6 Steroids Test provides detailed analysis of the following essential hormones:
- Aldosterone: Primary mineralocorticoid regulating sodium and potassium balance
- Corticosterone: Intermediate steroid in glucocorticoid synthesis pathway
- Cortisol: Main glucocorticoid hormone managing stress response and metabolism
- Cortisone: Inactive metabolite of cortisol with important regulatory functions
- 11-Deoxycortisol: Precursor hormone in cortisol biosynthesis
- 21-Deoxycortisol: Marker for 21-hydroxylase deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia
