Estrogen Metabolites Profile, Urine

Clinical Utility

The Estrogen Metabolites Profile provides a detailed insight into estrone, estradiol, estriol, metabolism, as well as the efficiency of COMT (methylation activity). This non-invasive test requires only 4 or 5 separate urine collections. Because the breakdown of hormones relies so heavily on processes within the liver, this test can also elucidate areas of interest as it pertains to conjugation of each metabolite. Additionally, testing urinary hormone metabolites can contribute to further understanding of endogenous hormone secretion, supplemental hormone utilization, enzyme activity, oxidative stress, and insight into whether your body is safely metabolizing hormones.
