Description
Steroid hormones play a key role across modern medicine, from endocrinology to hormonal contraception, autoimmune diseases, and transplantation techniques. Steroids are standard components of pharmacotherapy in cardiology, dermatology, gynecology and obstetrics, immunology, interventions in acute crisis situations, mitigating the processes of aging, and in various medical and veterinary fields.
Understanding the issues surrounding steroid hormones is not an easy task. For an endocrinologist, the problems in steroid pathology are not so much related to insufficient production or overproduction of certain steroid hormones, but rather to disorders in the area of steroid enzymeopathies, where various closely related steroids serve as indicators of disease, and where the physician must decide on diagnosis and treatment based on the analysis of the spectrum of steroids provided by the laboratory.
