You are kindly invited to participate in a survey exploring testosterone methodology in clinical units and laboratories throughout Europe. Endo-ERN members UZ Leuven and Ghent University Hospital are managing the survey.
Currently, different methods are used to measure testosterone and SHBG, hampering harmonized clinical use of (free) testosterone. With this survey, we want to map current clinical practices on methods to measure testosterone and SHBG in clinical units and laboratories in Europe.
The results of this survey will be used to propose harmonization efforts for testosterone and SHBG measurements.

Inspiration and innovation were the driving forces behind Dr Dirk Jan Stenvers application to the ERN Exchange Programme.
Dr Stenvers, a clinical endocrinologist at Amsterdam UMC, had his interest piqued by recent publications and congress presentations by the Endocrinology team at University Hospital Basel, Switzerland. Development of copeptin-based diagnostic tests for arginin vasopressin deficiency (previously known as diabetes insipidus) is just one example of innovations that the UHB team are working on. Copeptin based tests are a welcome alternative to the water deprivation test which is a challenging experience for most patients.
