Hormones are secreted at specific times from different glands in our body. In most cases a random sample of blood will be enough to make a diagnosis in addition to clinical examination and other investigations. We use state of art equipments such as fully automated analysers to provide us with real time results.
In some instances inducing stress under controlled conditions with other hormones or drugs is a necessity. We have trained paramedical staff who can organize this at our center under the supervision of our consultants.
