Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones

What is ?

• 4 Easy, Dried Urine Collections

What is ?

Dried Collections are Easier

Unpublished data, Precision Analytical

• 4 Easy, Dried Urine Collections

• Individual Samples Tested for “Free” Cortisol• Correlates with salivary cortisol pattern

Urinary Free Cortisol

Salivary Free Cortisol

Do Urine & Saliva Free Cortisol Agree?

Urine (dried) Free Cortisol

• 4 Easy, Dried Urine Collections

• Individual Samples Tested for “Free” Cortisol• Correlates with salivary cortisol pattern

• Combined sample (weighted average) tested

for all metabolites• Estrogen, Androgen, Progesterone, Cortisol

• Strong 24-hr Correlation

What is hormone testing good for?

• Disease States

• Functional Endocrinology

DUTCH & Functional Endocrinology,

An ideal match!

“High Cortisol Associated withAnorexia”

Cortisol & DHEA Production are Low!

Hypersecretion or Impaired Metabolism?

“High free Cortisol Associated with Anorexia due to low

production and highly impaired metabolism”

Postmenopausal, obese patientInflammation

• Increases estrogen• Blocks sulfation• Pushes cortisone cortisol

Functional Endocrinology - Androgens

Questions answered by most tests

• DHEA low/normal/high?

• Testosterone low/normal/high?

Questions answered only with metabolites

• Androgenic metabolism (5a)?

Functional Endocrinology - Estrogens

Questions answered by most tests

• Estradiol low/normal/high?

Questions answered only with metabolites

• Phase I metabolism (2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH)?

• Phase II metabolism (methylation)?
