Dutch Comprehensive Hormone Panel

Labs Included in the DUTCH Test:

• Estrogen Metabolites: Includes estrone, estradiol, and estriol to assess estrogen balance.

• Progesterone: Evaluates levels that are crucial for menstrual cycle regulation and reproductive health.

• Testosterone (Free and Total): Monitors androgen levels related to energy, libido, and muscle mass.

• Cortisol (Cortisol Awakening Response, Diurnal Cortisol): Tracks stress levels and adrenal function throughout the day.

• DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone): Measures adrenal hormone production.

• Melatonin: Assesses sleep-wake cycle regulation.

• Organic Acids (for further insights into metabolism and mitochondrial function).

What Conditions Warrant the DUTCH Test? 

The DUTCH test is helpful for evaluating a variety of symptoms and conditions related to hormonal imbalances, including:

• Menstrual Irregularities: Irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, or missed periods.

• Infertility: Difficulty conceiving due to hormonal imbalances.

• Adrenal Fatigue: Chronic stress, fatigue, and difficulty recovering from stress.

• Perimenopause/Menopause: Symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

• Thyroid Imbalances: While it doesn’t directly test thyroid hormones, it provides indirect insights into overall hormonal health.

• Weight Gain: Hormonal influences on metabolism and fat storage.

• Mood Disorders: Anxiety, depression, and irritability related to hormonal fluctuations.

Why is the DUTCH Test the Gold Standard for Hormonal Imbalances?

The DUTCH test is considered the gold standard for assessing hormone levels due to its comprehensive approach and accuracy. Unlike traditional blood tests, the DUTCH test measures hormones in dried urine, which provides a more accurate reflection of how hormones are metabolized in the body. It also tests multiple hormone metabolites, offering a detailed snapshot of both the free and bound hormones in the body, making it highly effective in detecting hidden imbalances that might be missed with other tests.
