Description:
Estrone is a form of the hormone estrogen. The estrone test is ordered to evaluate postmenopausal vaginal bleeding due to peripheral conversion of androgenic steroids as well as to guide female hormone replacemnt therapy. Increased estrone levels may be associated with increased levels of circulating androgens and their subsequent peripheral conversion. Estrone is primarily derived from metabolism of androstenedione in peripheral tissues, especially adipose tissues.�Individuals with obesity have increased conversion of androstenedione to Estrone leading to higher concentrations.�In addition, an increase in the ratio of Estrone to Estradiol may be useful in assessing menopause in women.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
