Biomarker Reference · T
Testosterone (urinary metabolites) (T) is a clinical biomarker used in female-hormones assessment. Urinary testosterone measurement reflects the sum of free and conjugated testosterone metabolites excreted over the collection period, integrating ovarian, adrenal, and peripheral tissue contributions. It is measured in 2 laboratory tests on BiomarkersLabs.com.
Urinary testosterone measurement reflects the sum of free and conjugated testosterone metabolites excreted over the collection period, integrating ovarian, adrenal, and peripheral tissue contributions. Unlike a single serum sample, urine captures fluctuations across the day and provides an index of integrated androgen production, though it does not distinguish between the parent hormone and its metabolites.
Urinary testosterone is used in functional assessments of androgen status, particularly when investigating symptoms of hyperandrogenism or monitoring adrenal-androgen output. It complements serum free and total testosterone, offering a longer collection window that can unmask intermittent elevations.
Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform. Interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.
