Glossary Serum Levels

amount of a substance in the blood's liquid component

Serum levels, also known as blood serum levels or serum concentration, refer to the amount of a specific substance present in the liquid part of the blood after the blood has clotted and the cells have been removed. These measurements are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions, as they can indicate the presence and severity of diseases, the effectiveness of treatments, or the body's response to medications.
