AB Many  of  the  most  common  tests  used  to  diagnose  endocrinological  disorders  are  antibody-based  immunoassays,  although  there  is  a  shift  toward  developing  liquid  chromatography-tandem  mass  spectrometry  (LC-MS/MS)  assays  that  provide  excellent  clinical  specificity  and  often  superior  sensitivity  (Table  51-1).  Radioimmunoassays  (RIAs)  pioneered  development  of  immunoassays  and  further  refinement  into  mass  spectrometry  methods  for  quantifying  peptide  hormones  but  are  not  routinely  used  in  clinical  laboratories  any  longer.1,2,3,4
