Evaluation of Immunoassays in Endocrinology: Tools for Hormone Determination in the Laboratory

Evaluation of Immunoassays in Endocrinology: Tools for Hormone Determination in the Laboratory

The Online Meeting was delivered in Spanish and conducted by Dr. Ana Eida Sandoval Velasco – a biochemist specialized in Endocrinological Biochemistry, head of the hormone division at SUS, and president of the Sociedad de Bioquímica Endocrinológica de Santa Cruz.

During the session, practical tools were presented to optimize the selection of immunoassays used in the laboratory and to improve the quality of hormonal reports provided to physicians. Strategies were also discussed to strengthen decision-making related to controls, calibrators, and the verification of critical results, thereby contributing to raising the quality standards of biochemical laboratories in the field of endocrinology.
