What is Estradiol (dried urine, GCMS)?
Estradiol is the most potent endogenous oestrogen, secreted principally by the ovarian granulosa cells in premenopausal women and by peripheral conversion in postmenopause. Urinary estradiol conjugates are excreted over 24 hours, and GCMS quantification avoids the cross-reactivity seen with immunoassay.
