Dynamic function testing
Endocrine disorders are rare, so we may run a series of tests to pinpoint exactly where the disorder lies.Endocrine investigations often rely on dynamic tests. Imperial College was the first in the UK to create standard protocols for the treatment of Endocrine Disorders, which have been published for over 20 years. Many other centres now use the Imperial College protocols on their Endocrine units and updates are always available online in the Endocrine Bible.
