Endo+ Hormone Serum - Genova Diagnostics Test Kit

What is the purpose of this test?

The Endo+ Hormone – Serum (Blood) Test from Genova Diagnostics is designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of hormonal health by measuring key circulating hormones involved in reproductive, adrenal, and metabolic function. By analyzing hormones in serum, this test reflects total hormone availability in the bloodstream, offering a clear and clinically relevant snapshot of overall endocrine status.

Serum testing is particularly valuable for assessing baseline hormone levels and understanding how hormones are produced, transported, and regulated throughout the body. When combined with binding proteins such as Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), this approach helps clarify hormone bioavailability and potential imbalances that may contribute to a wide range of symptoms.

Beyond measuring individual hormone levels, the Endo+ Serum Hormones panel helps illuminate how hormones interact and influence one another. These insights support more informed, personalized care strategies to address hormonal imbalances and optimize long-term well-being.

 
The Endo+ Hormone – Serum Test Includes:

Serum Hormones:

• Estrone, Estradiol, and Estriol: Three forms of estrogen essential for reproductive health, bone integrity, cardiovascular support, and overall hormonal balance.
• Progesterone: Supports menstrual regularity, pregnancy, and helps counterbalance estrogen.
• Testosterone, Total: Plays a key role in muscle mass, energy, mood, and libido in both men and women.
• DHEA-S: A stable marker of adrenal hormone production and a precursor to estrogen and testosterone.
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Regulates hormone availability by binding sex hormones in circulation, helping clarify functional hormone status.
   

Optional Add-Ons:

• Salivary sIgA
• Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)
• Genetic SNP Analysis: COMT, MTHFR, CYP1B1, VDR
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
• Prolactin
• Androstenedione

Optional add-ons are sample-specific. Availability depends on whether you choose the saliva, serum (blood), or urine Endo+ Hormone test kit. Only compatible add-ons can be processed with your selected sample type.
