translate English to French: More than 60 parameters are routinely measured in serum, plasma or saliva, and ten metabolites can be assayed in urine, including steroids (androgens, oestrogens, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids), peptides (ACTH, ADH, Peptide C, ...) and proteins (gonadotropin, prolactin, TSH, GH, HCG, insulin, ...) for the investigation of the function of all endocrine glands, including the thyroid, the gonads, the pituitary gland, the adrenal cortex, the pancreas and the placenta. Other tests probe glucose metabolism and growth.
Les dosages hormonaux permettent l’exploration diagnostique des pathologies secondaires à un dysfonctionnement endocrinien ainsi que leur suivi thérapeutique.
