What are the endocrine examination items and how much do they cost

Growth hormone stimulation test and antidiuretic hormone measurement are high priced projects, with a cost of about 800-1500 yuan. Multiple blood samples need to be collected after drug stimulation, and the testing process requires the supervision of professional medical personnel. Some rare disease screenings require submission to third-party laboratories for testing.

Infertility special examination or menopausal assessment will combine multiple tests, with a package price of about 1500-2000 yuan. Special projects such as chromosome analysis require separate billing. Some private hospitals offer personalized customization services.

Fasting items require fasting for 8-12 hours, and some hormone tests need to be conducted during specific physiological cycles. Priority can be given to selecting designated medical insurance institutions, and some basic projects can enjoy medical insurance reimbursement. Carrying past reports during re examination can avoid repeated testing, and supplementing high protein foods appropriately after examination can promote recovery. It is recommended to establish a fixed testing institution and time for long-term hormone monitoring.
