We provide a full range of biochemical laboratory tests for diagnosing and managing endocrine disorders. These include routine hormone immunoassays, autoantibody panels, genetic testing (in advanced setups), and dynamic stimulation/suppression tests.
- Diabetes Mellitus and Glucose Homeostasis Tests
These are core for diagnosing and monitoring type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, and hypoglycemia.
- Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
- Random Plasma Glucose
- 2-hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) — often with insulin measurements
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
- Fructosamine (alternative for HbA1c interference)
- Insulin levels (fasting or during OGTT)
- C-peptide (fasting, postprandial, or stimulated)
- Proinsulin (in select hypoglycemia cases)
- Autoantibodies for type 1 diabetes/autoimmune diabetes: Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD-65), Islet antigen-2 (IA-2), Zinc transporter-8 (ZnT8), Insulin autoantibodies (IAA)
- Ketone testing (blood beta-hydroxybutyrate or urine acetoacetate)
- Continuous glucose monitoring interpretation support
2. Thyroid Gland Tests
For hypo/hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, nodules, Graves’ disease, and thyroid cancer monitoring.
- Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Free Thyroxine (Free T4)
- Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3)
- Total T4 and Total T3
- Thyroid antibodies: Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (TPOAb), Anti-Thyroglobulin (TgAb), TSH Receptor Antibodies (TRAb/TSI for Graves’)
- Thyroglobulin (Tg) — for cancer follow-up
- Calcitonin — for medullary thyroid carcinoma screening/monitoring
- Thyroglobulin antibodies (with Tg for interference check)
- USG guided FNAC/biopsy of thyroid nodule
3. Adrenal Gland Tests
For Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, primary aldosteronism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma.

- 24-hour Urinary Free Cortisol
- Dexamethasone Suppression Test (low-dose, high-dose, or overnight)
- ACTH (Cosyntropin/Synacthen) Stimulation Test
- Aldosterone (plasma or urine) and Plasma Renin Activity (or Direct Renin) — Aldosterone/Renin Ratio
- Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S)
- 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (basal or ACTH-stimulated for CAH)
- Androstenedione
- 21-Hydroxylase Antibodies (21OH-Abs)
- Plasma or urinary fractionated Metanephrines/Catecholamines (for pheochromocytoma)
4. Pituitary Gland Tests
For pituitary adenomas, hypopituitarism, acromegaly, prolactinoma, etc.
- Prolactin
- Growth Hormone (GH) — basal or stimulated/suppressed
- Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
- ACTH

- Serum Calcium (total and ionized)
- Phosphate
- 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D
- 1,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D
- 24-hour Urinary Calcium and Creatinine
- 6. Gonadal (Reproductive) Hormone Tests
For hypogonadism, PCOS, infertility, disorders of sexual development, menopause/andropause.
- Testosterone (total, free, bioavailable) + Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)
- Estradiol (E2)
- Progesterone
- LH/ FSH
- Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)
- Inhibin B

- DHEA-S and Androstenedione
- Karyotyping
7. Other Specialized/Miscellaneous Endocrine Tests
- For multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN), carcinoid, etc.: Chromogranin A, Gastrin, VIP, etc.
- Electrolytes, osmolality, urine sodium (for SIADH, diabetes insipidus)
- Genetic testing panels for hereditary endocrine disorders (e.g., MEN1/2, CAH genes, MODY diabetes genes)
- Urine steroid profiling or salivary hormone panels (cortisol, etc.)
8. Dynamic Function (Provocation/Suppression) Tests
