Endocrine test is done to diagnose various specialities and hormonal diseases such as carcinoid tumors, reproductive endocrinology, neuroendocrine tumors, and pituitary thyroid adrenal bone and parathyroid. It may be suggested by the endocrinologist to check if the endocrine glands are functioning properly, various hormonal level in the body of a patient, and the reason behind endocrinological problem.
I can provide a range of endocrine testing including the following in the Kent and London areas.
- Short Synacthen Test- to check for cortisol deficiency
- Glucose tolerance test to look for diabetes gestational diabetes and reactive hypoglycaemia
- Overnight dexamethasone suppression tests to look for cortisol (stress hormone) excess
- Fasting test for insulinomas
- Gut hormone screening for neuroendocrine tumours
