Stimulating hormone can be given to identify (determine hypofunction) if the target gland is able to increase hormone response to increased stimulation. Agglutination with enzymes is a way of measuring hormone antigen levels. The 24-hour urine sample measures hormone metabolite excretion. Radioactive hormone–antibody binding levels are a method of measuring plasma levels.
