Measurement of Urinary Estrogens

[摘要] In a commentary on the existing methodology for the determination of urinary estrogens, data are given for normal ranges in nonpregnancy and pregnancy urine as well as the expected interferences due to medication and substances occurring in high concentrations in disease states. Because of the wide range of normal excretion values, the point is made that only serial analyses of a patient's physiologic course (e.g., in pregnancy associated with diabetes) are of clinical value.
