Dynamic function testing

1.30pm – 4.30pm BST, 10 June 2024 ‐ 3 hours

Biochemistry Training Day

Dynamic function testing plays a crucial role in clinical biochemistry by evaluating the functional capacity of various physiological systems. This methodology involves assessing the response of biological systems to specific stimuli, such as glucose tolerance tests or hormonal challenges, to diagnose and monitor conditions like diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, and growth hormone disorders. Through dynamic function testing, we can elucidate the intricate dynamics of metabolic pathways and hormonal regulation, enabling precise diagnosis, treatment optimisation, and disease management.  This interactive workshop will provide trainees with an overview of key dynamic function tests and how they are used in clinical practice.
