Hormone Suppression Blood Panel

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 80408

A set of blood measurements taken before and after something is given that should switch a hormone off, to see whether the gland turns its output down as it normally would. Failure to suppress points to a gland producing hormone on its own rather than under the body's usual control. The appointment takes a few hours because samples are drawn at set times.
