You can view a description of Quest's tests online:

Total E is a check on all of the Estrogens the bad guy is E2 Estradiol and this

is all you need tested have Quest do a ASSAY for men on Estradiol if they do the

wrong one call them they for MI. are the worse.

If I remember well, Quest Diagnostic's total estrogens (code 439X)

test measures E1 (estrone)+ E2 (estradiol).

If someone has both their estradiol and total estrogen levels

measured, can we assume that total estrogens - estradiol = estrone?

Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated,

Ok, so by looking at Quest's Total Estrogens test, it says that the

assay measures E1 and E2.

If you have your E2 and the total Estrogens tests measured separately,

you can assume that total estrogens-E2 = E1, right?.

Thanks and any input is appreciated,

No Total E is all 3 of them if you just have E2 measured it does not = E1 ther

are Diff. Here is a link on DIM and how it works but shows about Estrogens.

Hi Phil:

But, isn't estriol mainly found in the placenta, with very small

amounts in males?

So, if you have both estradiol and total estrogen levels measured,

wouldn't Total estrogens-estradiol give you a very good approximation

of your estrone levels?

Let's say that your estradiol levels are 30 pg/ml and your total

estrogens 200 pg/ml. By doing some calculations, shouldn't your

estrone levels be very close to 170 pg/ml?

Thanks,

I think I read that estradiol was about 1000 times more powerful that

the other estrogens per unit. Dr. Shippen is looking at all the E's

now.

My E2 is back in the male range, from being in the low end of the

female range.

My testosterone is in the male range now, it was in the high end of

the female range.

Big difference in everything. New tests this month to see if they

have stabilized.

Hi gin2c:

I read that also. Estriol is one-thousand fold less potent than estradiol.

Can you post your E2 results along with the reference ranges please?

Thanks,
