Estradiol (Adult Premenopausal Females or Individuals on Estrogen Hormone Therapy)

ESTRA
Example Reports
Standard

Ordering Recommendation

Use this immunoassay to measure estradiol in adult premenopausal cisgender females and individuals on estrogen hormone therapies. Not recommended when low estradiol concentrations, such as those found in children, cisgender males, and postmenopausal females, are expected, or for monitoring antiestrogen (eg, aromatase inhibitor) therapy. The preferred estradiol test in these cases is Estradiol (Adult Males, Children, Postmenopausal Females, or Individuals on Estrogen-Suppressing Hormone Therapy) (0093247). Not recommended in the evaluation of estradiol status for individuals with protein-binding abnormalities or individuals on hormonal contraception. The preferred estradiol test for these individuals is Estradiol, Free, by Dialysis and Mass Spectrometry (2006160).
