The Estrone (E1) test measures the level of estrone, one of the three primary estrogen hormones in the body. Estrone is the predominant form of estrogen after menopause and plays a role in reproductive health, bone maintenance, and overall hormone balance.
This test is commonly used to evaluate estrogen status in postmenopausal individuals, assess hormonal balance, and investigate symptoms related to estrogen excess or deficiency. It may also be ordered alongside estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3) testing for a comprehensive estrogen evaluation.
