Alpha Subunit Test
Introduction to the Alpha Subunit Test
The Alpha Subunit Test is a critical diagnostic tool used to assess disorders of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland plays a pivotal role in regulating various hormonal functions in the body, and any abnormalities can lead to significant health issues. This test measures the alpha subunit of glycoprotein hormones, which is essential in the diagnosis and management of various endocrine disorders.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects the levels of the alpha subunit, which is a component of several important hormones, including luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Elevated levels of the alpha subunit can indicate the presence of tumors or other disorders affecting the pituitary gland.

Additionally, those with risk factors such as a family history of endocrine disorders or previous pituitary tumors should consider this test.
