Description
Sex Steroid Metabolites + UDH II
An integrated urine hormone profile that includes both sex steroid metabolites and adrenal diurnal hormones.
What does this test measure?
This test provides a detailed picture of hormone metabolism by measuring:
- Estrogen, progesterone, and androgen breakdown products
- Estrogen metabolites and androgen metabolites
- Daily free cortisol/cortisone levels
- Overnight melatonin metabolite
It allows clinicians to assess gonadal hormone balance (e.g., estrogen detox pathways, androgen levels) and adrenal circadian function simultaneously.
Who is this test most suitable for?
- People with hormone replacement therapy monitoring
- Individuals with chronic stress (affecting sex hormones)
- Shift workers (affecting melatonin)
Clinical Use
This combined approach is particularly useful for complex cases such as perimenopausal symptoms with concurrent adrenal fatigue, or hormone therapy monitoring where adrenal status also impacts wellbeing. It helps in conditions like hormonal imbalances, fatigue, insomnia, and mood disturbances related to both sex hormones and stress hormones.
