On reading the urine labs I just compare my number to the range like a blood test and figure I'd like to be in the upper part of the range on T and the lower third on the E's. I could be wrong, but that's all I know.
I drank quite a bit of water with the first test too, but it was hotter and I work outside and sweated more. I don't think I was dehydrated, or at least not enough to make a day and night difference in the results. In my honest opinion I think Rhein screwed the pooch and gave me someone elses results.
Most likely they did.
I am not sure why the ReheinLabs are so hot.
I could use good technical explanation.
Going by presentation and years in bussiness,
I am going with Genova Diagnostics, former Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory.
I am waiting for the kit they are sending to my home.
Doctor ordered
Metabolic Analysis Profile
GDX Metabolic Laboratory Assessments
Genova Diagnostics
Will study results and order any further tests.
I already know I will do their
EstroEssence
GDX Endocrinology Laboratory Assessments
Genova Diagnostics EstroEssence
I mentioned about Estroessence in my post #44
since I think it is essential in basic hormonal testing.
The EstroEssence check the following 11 (eleven) indicators:
Estrone (24hr urine)Male 3.00-12.00 mcg/24 hr
Estradiol (24hr urine)Male1.50-6.00 mcg/24 hr
Estriol (24hr urine)Male 3.00-28.50 mcg/24 hr
2-Hydroxyestrone (24hr urine) 0.26-13.68 mcg/24 hr
2-Methoxyestrone (24hr urine) 0.34-9.03 mcg/24 hr
16α-Hydroxyestrone (24hr urine) 0.25-7.89 mcg/24 hr
4-Hydroxyestrone (24hr urine) 0.33-1.95 mcg/24 hr
4-Methoxyestrone (24hr urine) 0.40 0.20-1.60 mcg/24 hr
2-Hydroxyestrone/16α-Hydroxestrone Ratio (24hr urine)0.94-1.56 Ratio
2-Methoxyestrone/2-Hydroxyestrone Ratio (24hr urine) 0.11-4.00 Ratio
4-Methoxyestrone /4-Hydroxyestrone Ratio (24hr urine) 0.18-3.60 Ratio
============================================================
There is a little mistery with 2-Hydroxyestrone/16α-Hydroxestrone Ratio
Genova Diagnostics shows desirable range (0.94-1.56) Ratio
another words if someone have (16α-Hydroxestrone Ratio) wery small or zero, and therefore very high 2/16 ratio, that is not good either, we need all hormones just in right proportions (make sense to me, but I am not scientist or doctor).
