Book Steroid Test (Rapid Identification)

What Is Steroid Test?

A steroid test, also known as a steroid hormone test, is a test that measures the levels of various steroid hormones in the body. Steroid hormones are a class of hormones derived from cholesterol and include hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone.

The purpose of a steroid test is to assess the levels of these hormones, which play crucial roles in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, sexual development and function, stress response, and electrolyte balance. The test results can provide insights into hormone imbalances, diagnose certain medical conditions, monitor treatment effectiveness, and guide further investigations.
