• The biologically most active estrogen is 17-B Estradiol. The determination of estradiol is utilized clinically in the elucidation of fertility disorders in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis, gynecomastia, estrogen-producing ovarian and testicular tumors and in hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex. Further clinical indications are the monitoring of fertility therapy and determining the time of ovulation within the framework of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
• Used in the diagnosis and treatment of various hormonal sexual disorders and in assessing placental function in complicated pregnancy.
• Diagnostic applications of estradiol assays include assessment of ovarian function in a wide variety of situations (menstrual disorders, precocious or delayed puberty, assisted reproduction protocols).
• For men, estradiol measurement may be useful in the evaluation of gynecomastia
