Hormone Services at Hopecare Specialist Hospital
At Hopecare Specialist Hospital, our Hormone Department offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to diagnose, manage, and treat hormonal imbalances and related conditions. We are committed to providing accurate and personalized care to address the unique needs of each patient. Here's an in-depth description of the key services we provide:
1. Thyroid Hormones:
- Thyroid Function Testing: Our laboratory conducts a series of tests to evaluate thyroid function, including levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), free T4 (FT4), and free T3 (FT3). These tests aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, and goiter.
- Thyroid Antibody Testing: We offer specialized tests to detect thyroid antibodies, including thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb). These tests help diagnose autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease.
- Thyroid Ultrasound: Our imaging department provides thyroid ultrasound scans to assess the structure and size of the thyroid gland, identify nodules, and evaluate for signs of inflammation or abnormalities.
2. Fertility Hormones:
- Female Hormonal Assessment: We offer a range of tests to evaluate female reproductive hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). These tests help assess ovarian function, ovulation, and fertility potential.
- Male Hormonal Assessment: For male patients, we perform tests to assess testosterone levels, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and semen analysis to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology.
3. Glucose Metabolism:
- Fasting/Random Blood Glucose: We offer fasting and random blood glucose tests to screen for diabetes mellitus and monitor glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Fasting glucose tests are typically performed after an overnight fast to assess baseline glucose levels, while random glucose tests can be done at any time.
- Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Our facility provides OGTT, a diagnostic test used to assess glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. Patients consume a glucose solution, and blood samples are taken at specified intervals to measure glucose levels. This test helps diagnose gestational diabetes, prediabetes, and impaired glucose tolerance.
At Hopecare Specialist Hospital, our multidisciplinary team of endocrinologists, laboratory technicians, and imaging specialists collaborate to deliver comprehensive hormone services aimed at optimizing patient health and well-being. We prioritize accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort to ensure a positive healthcare experience for all our patients.
