Comprehensive Urinary Hormone Profile
br> br>
US Biotek's comprehensive Urinary Steroid Hormone Profile provides data for 30 key analytes serving as markers for:
- Major Androgens, Estrogens, Progesterone & Metabolites
- Adrenal Hormones & Metabolites
These hormones and their metabolites are measured through GC/MS from an aliquot of a 24-hour urine collection.
Steroid hormones in urine are present as either free (trace quantities) or conjugate form that must undergo quantitative hydrolysis. The refined assay methodology retains steroid structure and constitution for maximum recovery through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS); the method of choice for accurate steroid measurement.
- A 24-hour hormone urine profile is an effective means to measure hormone deficiencies and excess in both women and men.
- A 24-hour urine sample provides a time integrated assessment of the biologically active hormone form and metabolites, for a comprehensive look into their production and metabolic activity throughout the natural course of a day.
