What is Estrone (E1)?
Estrone, also known as E1, is a form of estrogen, an important female sex hormone. It plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and fertility in women and is also present in smaller quantities in men.
Why should you have Estrone (E1) tested?
Testing estrone is useful for evaluating hormone balance and fertility, diagnosing certain health conditions such as estrogen dominance, early puberty or menopause, and monitoring hormone-related therapies. It can also provide insight into the hormonal health of men.
What does it indicate?
Estrone levels provide insight into estrogen production in the body. It helps in diagnosing hormonal imbalances that may point to various health issues, including hormone-sensitive cancers, fertility problems, and conditions related to the thyroid or adrenal glands.
What does a high estrone level mean?
A high estrone level may indicate increased estrogen production, which may point to various disorders, such as estrogen dominance, estrogen-producing tumors, or liver conditions. In men, it may indicate gynecomastia or hormonal imbalances.
What does a low estrone level mean?
A low estrone level may indicate reduced estrogen production, which may suggest premature ovarian insufficiency, menopause, or pituitary gland issues. In men, a low level may be normal, but it can also point to certain health problems.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
