Estrone

EstroneEstrone is a type of estrogen, a female sex hormone that is produced by the ovaries, adrenal glands, and fat tissue. This test measures the amount of estrone in the blood and is typically ordered to evaluate the functioning of the ovaries or adrenal glands, or to monitor the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy. Estrone levels can be influenced by various factors, including age, menopause, and certain medications, and abnormal levels can be a sign of underlying health conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or ovarian cancer.

It is important to note that estrone levels alone do not provide a complete picture of a person's overall estrogen status, and other estrogen hormones, such as estradiol, may also need to be measured.
