Estradiol
Estradiol is a steroid hormone synthesized by the gonads. In women, it plays an important role in the functioning of the menstrual cycle and the triggering of ovulation. The determination of estradiol can be used for the assessment of fertility status and sexual development. In females, it can be used in differential diagnosis of amenorrhea and other causes of female infertility and in monitoring of ovulation status. It can be also used as an aid in diagnosis of precocious and delayed puberty in children. In males, it can be used as an aid in diagnosis of feminizing syndromes, including gynecomastia. It can be also used in monitoring patients on hormone replacement and antiestrogen therapy.
