A method is provided that includes receiving measurements of biological elements from a blood sample of a patient. The respective biological elements are managed by the endocrine system, which is organizable in axes including a corticotropic axis, gonadotropic axis, thyreotropic axis and somatotropic axis. The method includes calculating a plurality of indexes as functions of the measurements. The indexes reflect physiological relationships between the biological elements and the hormones that manage the respective biological elements, and at least some of the indexes reflect physiological relationships between hormones across axes of the endocrine system. The method also includes evaluating the indexes by axis of the endocrine system to facilitate identification of one or more dysfunctions capable of participating in the genesis, installation and evolution of a pathology, and thereby formulate a diagnosis of the patient. And the method includes administering a therapy to the patient in accordance with the diagnosis. |
