Casandra Test Code QD23058Version 1 (DRAFT)
Performing Lab
Estrone, LC/MS/MS
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Estrone is primarily derived from metabolism of androstenedione in peripheral tissues, especially adipose tissue. Individuals with obesity have increased conversion of androstenedione to estrone, leading to higher concentrations. An increase in the ratio of estrone to estradiol may be useful in assessing menopause in women.
