Why Test Hormone in Urine?
Urinary hormone metabolites testing provides a unique diagnostic view that no other hormone testing offers. Because it assesses both parent hormones and their corresponding metabolites, it reveals how the body is breaking down key hormones like estrogens, progestogens, androgens, cortisol and many others.
This test should NOT be performed on individuals with kidney disorders. Abnormal kidney function or use of diuretics may influence test results. Synthetic hormones will not show up on the test and conjugated equine estrogens will show up mostly as estrone.
The 24-Hour Collection captures all urine over a 24-hour time period. It provides a time-average for hormone spikes that may occur throughout a complete circadian rhythm (24 hours).
As a result, the 24-Hour provides the highest level of sensitivity to assess very low levels of hormones by providing a direct measurement of the Total Output of each hormone.
The Complete Hormones provides insight into the contribution that sex hormones may have in patients presenting with hormone-related complaints, and helps assess disease risk associated with elevated estrogen metabolites.
Urine measures the most metabolites, providing more insight into associated disease risk.
The Complete Hormones profile evaluates:
- Progesterone (via pregnanediol)
- Glucocorticoids, including cortisol
- Androgens, including DHEA and testosterone, and their metabolites
- Estrogens (E1 Estrone, E2 Estradiol, E3 Estriol) and metabolites, including hydroxylated and methoxylated estrogens
- Methylation capacity
- 5α-reductase activity
- Anabolic/Catabolic Balance
When should the Complete Hormones test be considered?
The Complete Hormones test is designed to assist in the management of hormone-related symptoms in both males and females.
The Complete Hormones test is ideal for establishing a baseline assessment of parent hormones and their metabolites ahead of clinical intervention with hormone therapy (HT) as well as subsequent monitoring if needed in both female and male patients.
See above “what is being tested?”
When is it a good idea to consider urinary hormone metabolite testing? In cases where someone has:
- Family history of hormone-dependent cancers – like breast or prostate cancer
- Normal saliva cortisol levels but still experiencing symptoms of adrenal dysfunction
- Symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as weight gain and insomnia
- Symptoms of PCOS, such as acne and excess facial hair
- Symptoms of menopause and ready to begin hormone replacement therapy
- Symptoms of estrogen dominance while on physiological replacement dosages of therapy
Correcting Hormones imbalances, Can Help You Feel Good Again!
Symptoms of Hormone imbalance are common in woman especially during peri menopause and menopause.
A 24 hour Complete Hormones urine test, provides information about the impact that shifting hormone levels can have in men (andropause or male menopause) and women (perimenopause/menopause), producing symptoms such as:
- Weight gain
- Anxiety
- Fatigue
- Low sex drive and performance issues
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood instability
- Brain fog
- Hot flashes
Why Use the 24 hour Complete Hormones Urine Test?
In conventional hormone testing, basic parent hormones are usually measured in blood. However, urinary hormone testing with Complete Hormones provides several advantages:
- Urinary hormone testing provides a more comprehensive look at hormone metabolism
- Emerging research reinforces the potential relationship of disease risk with downstream metabolites, especially those of the 4-hydroxylation estrogen pathway, which are not routinely measured in blood or salivary testing
- Evaluation of stress-hormone metabolic pathways provides an indicator of balance between anabolic and catabolic metabolism
- Offers convenient, at-home collection of a first-morning or 24-hour specimen
Imbalanced hormone production affects a wide range of body functions, producing symptoms that negatively affect the quality of life and may increase the risk for hormone-related diseases.
Identification and targeted treatment of hormonal imbalances using customized hormone and/or nutritional therapies improves symptoms,quality of life, and may reduce disease risk.
What is the Complete Hormones™ test?
Complete Hormones™ is the most comprehensive urinary hormone profile, and is designed to assist with the clinical management of hormone-related symptoms in both male and females.
This profile assesses parent hormones and their metabolites as well as key metabolic pathways, provides insight into the contribution that sex hormones may have in patients presenting with hormone-related complaints, and helps assess disease risk associated with elevated estrogen metabolites. Urine measures the most metabolites, providing more insight into associated disease risk.
The Complete Hormones Profile Evaluates:
- Progesterone (via pregnanediol)
- Glucocorticoids, including cortisol
- Androgens, including DHEA and testosterone, and their metabolites
- Estrogens (E1 Estrone, E2 Estradiol, E3 Estriol) and metabolites, including hydroxylated and methoxylated estrogens
- Methylation capacity
- 5α-reductase activity
- Anabolic/Catabolic Balance
When Should the Complete Hormones Test Be Considered?
The Complete Hormones test is designed to assist in the management of hormone-related symptoms in both males and females.
The Complete Hormones test is ideal for establishing a baseline assessment of parent hormones and their metabolites ahead of clinical intervention with hormone therapy (HT) as well as subsequent monitoring if needed in both female and male patients.
The Complete Hormones test provides insight into the impact that shifting hormone levels may play in men (andropause or male menopause) and women (peri/menopause).
In addition to supporting patient management around hormone-dependent symptoms, the profile provides valuable insight into disease risk for hormone-associated cancers (breast, prostate) and osteoporosis.
What Advantage Does Complete Hormones Profile Offer Compared To Other HormoneTests?
The conventional clinical approach to hormone-related symptoms (such as those experienced by patients in the perimenopause/menopause transition) does not routinely include utilization of comprehensive urine hormone testing. When testing is performed, basic parent-hormone blood testing is generally the test of choice, since serum testing is well represented in the literature. However, urinary assays provide several advantages over blood assays for patients with hormone-related symptoms.
- Steroid hormones naturally fluctuate over the course of a day and measurement of hormones in urine collected over several hours provides a stable average of hormone levels.
- Emerging research reinforces the potential relationship of disease risk with individual hormone metabolites, particularly downstream estrogen metabolites especially those of the 4-hydroxylation pathway.
- Given the close interrelationships of steroid hormones, a comprehensive assessment comprising these metabolites is recommended, at least for an initial evaluation.
- Complete Hormones provides measurement of these metabolites with a convenient patient-friendly collection for people with normal renal function who are not on diuretic medications.
- In addition to the measurement of multiple steroid hormones and enzymatic pathways, this profile also measures indicators for the effects of stress on an individual.
- The Anabolic/Catabolic Balance refers to the balance between growth and healing and wear and tear (catabolic) in the body.
- Both anabolic and catabolic metabolism are essential to health. For example, a healthy body requires sufficient time and androgens to rebuild/repair cells (anabolic), but also sufficient corticosteroids to respond to stressors and to discharge cellular debris/toxins (catabolic).
- The Interpretation-At-A-Glance page summarizes results through color-coded graphic representations of overall hormonal balance and metabolism, highlighting key ratios for easier test interpretation and clinical application.
A/C Balance
- Supportive therapeutics for modulating a high or low A/C Balance include stress management, adequate sleep, reducing stimulants such as caffeine, reducing high glycemic load foods, and adrenal nutritional and botanical support.
