How long does an endocrine test take to produce results?

Endocrine test results vary depending on the test items, workflow and test methods of the medical institution.

Common endocrine hormone tests, such as thyroid hormones, sex hormones, etc., generally result in 1-3 days. This is because these items are relatively routine, and the laboratory has a relatively fixed test process and time schedule. In addition, some special endocrine tests may take longer, such as some less common hormone or antibody tests, which may take 3-7 days or even longer. This is due to the fact that these tests may not be performed frequently, samples may need to be processed centrally or detection methods may be complex.
