Oestradiol

Background:

Assessment of ovarian function in females, or gynaecomastia in males

Levels fluctuate from day-to-day and throughout the menstrual cycle, single measurements are rarely of value and FSH is a more reliable test. Serial levels are informative for assisting IVF cycles.

Reference ranges:

Results outside the reference range do not necessarily indicate disease. Similarly, results within the reference range do not preclude abnormality. Please contact the Duty Biochemist for discussion of individual patient results.
