Quality goals for hormone testing.
Estimates of intra-individual biological variation in normal subjects have been made for 17 hormones commonly measured for diagnostic purposes and the results have been compared with state-of-the-art analytical imprecision data. The implications of using these results for setting goals for analytical performance are discussed.
