ABSTRACT
Accurate measurement of sex steroids, particularly testosterone and estradiol, is relevant for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions. Unfortunately, current chemiluminescent immunoassays have analytical limitations with important clinical consequences. This document reviews the current state of clinical assays for estradiol and testosterone measurements and their potential impact in different clinical situations. It also includes a series of recommendations and necessary steps to introduce steroid analysis by mass spectrometry into national health systems, a methodology recommended for more than a decade by international societies.
