Precision in Endocrinology: Rapid Certainty for Complex Diagnoses
Hormonal imbalances are often the cause of complex, chronic complaints, from thyroid dysfunction to fertility disorders. Specialized practices and pharmacies therefore need diagnostics that are not only fast but absolutely precise to guide therapy paths soundly.
The Igloo Pro Reader makes POC tests accessible for endocrinology and enables the immediate determination of critical hormones directly on the patient.
1. The Thyroid Axis: TSH as Key Marker
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is the most important screening parameter for assessing thyroid function.
- Early Detection: TSH reacts sensitively to slight changes in thyroid hormones (fT3, fT4). An elevated or lowered TSH value can indicate latent dysfunction even before peripheral values deviate.
- Therapy Monitoring: In substitution therapies, the TSH value must be closely monitored. Immediate POC analysis allows direct medication adjustment – a decisive factor, especially when wishing for a child or during pregnancy.
2. Reproductive Hormones: AMH as Indicator of Time
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) has established itself as a central marker for ovarian reserve (egg reserve) in women.
- Fertility Diagnostics: AMH is a reliable indicator of the potential number of eggs capable of maturation. Determination is essential for unfulfilled desire for a child, planning assisted reproduction (IVF), or assessing the risk of premature menopause.
- Independence from Cycle: Unlike many other hormones, AMH fluctuates relatively little over the menstrual cycle, making POC measurement an extremely practical tool for quick, reliable information.
- PCOS Diagnostics: Very high AMH values can also be an indication of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), enabling rapid clarification and therapeutic guidance.
3. The Premium Claim to Hormone Analytics
Endocrinology requires the highest analytical accuracy, as even small deviations are clinically relevant. The Igloo Pro Reader is designed to meet these requirements:
- Analytical Safety: The ability to measure hormone markers with validated precision is crucial to avoid misinterpretations.
- Broad Spectrum: In addition to TSH and AMH, the reader supports analysis of other hormones such as Cortisol (stress), Progesterone, FSH, and Testosterone, enabling comprehensive initial endocrinological diagnosis.
