About Estrone Test in Silver Spring
Estrone is a naturally occurring estrogen produced mainly in the ovaries, adipose tissue, and adrenal glands.
Estrone (E1) is one of three major estrogens, alongside estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3). It is the dominant circulating estrogen after menopause, when ovarian estradiol production declines and peripheral conversion of androgens in fat tissue becomes a more significant source.
Because estrone can be produced outside the gonads, its blood concentration reflects both gonadal and extragonadal activity. Clinicians may order the test to evaluate estrogen status when symptoms, laboratory findings, or medical history suggest an imbalance.
The test requires a blood draw. Results are typically reported as a concentration in picograms per milliliter or picomoles per liter, depending on the laboratory. Reference ranges vary by age, sex, and menopausal status, so results should be interpreted alongside the individual's clinical context.
