Hormones are biochemical messenger substances which are produced and emitted by specialised cells in the body to trigger specific effects in the cells of the target organs. Their release is controlled by complex mechanisms and is subject to many different influencing factors.

Hormones affect our entire life – from the metabolism, the heart and circulation and the immune system to the adaptation of various organ systems to certain situations (e.g. stress reactions), sleeping patterns, growth and development and finally reproduction: none of these would be possible without hormones. For this reason, we offer hormone tests in addition to the range offered by sickness funds which provide endocrinologists with a broader range diagnostics options.
