Description
A comprehensive study allowing determination of the level of steroid hormones (androgens and estrogens) in 24-hour urine, as well as clinically significant androgen metabolites and their calculated ratios. In women, estrogens ensure the normal development and functioning of the reproductive system, while in men they participate in the regulation of prostate and testicular functions. Androgens are responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and virilization in case of their excess in women or impaired conversion to estrogens.
The test is not intended for patients under 16 years of age! When registering requests for testing of steroid hormones in women, it is mandatory to indicate the presence/absence of pregnancy.
