One Day Hormone Check
Saliva
Performed by: Genova Diagnostics
The One Day Hormone Check is a salivary hormone test that evaluates unbound, bioavailable hormone levels over 24 hours. Specimens collected over 24 hours are examined for levels of estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, the progesterone/estradiol ratio (P/E2), testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, and melatonin.
The One Day Hormone Check provides information about the impact that shifting hormone levels can have in men (andropause or male menopause) and women (perimenopause and menopause). It can reveal imbalances of primary sex hormones and how they relate to other hormones, such as DHEA, cortisol, and melatonin. Using hormone testing, clinicians can customize hormone and/or nutritional therapies and monitor therapy.
People with hormone imbalance may present with:
- Fatigue
- Weight loss or gain
- Menstrual irregularities
- Loss of libido
- Insomnia
- Changes in hair and skin
- Hot flashes

Note on reference ranges:
The therapeutic ranges depicted are for informational purposes only, and were derived from a cohort of peri/menopausal women ranging in age from 37-62 years. All women were treated with bioidentical hormone therapy (HT) utilizing combinations of the following: Biest (transdermal); Progesterone (oral micronized); Testosterone (transdermal); and 7-keto-DHEA (oral).

The "Cortisol Awakening Response, Percent Increase" (CAR) is a crucial marker measured in the 4300 Adrenocortex Stress Profile - Saliva test by Genova Diagnostics. This test assesses how your cortisol levels change shortly after you wake up
Learn moreDHEA is a hormone produced by both the adrenal gland and the brain. DHEA leads to the production of androgens and estrogens. DHEA levels in the body begin to decrease after age 30. Levels decrease more quickly in women.
Learn moreThe DHEA: Cortisol Ratio is an important marker that helps assess the balance between two crucial hormones produced by the adrenal glands: dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and cortisol. DHEA is often referred to as a "youth hormone" because
Learn moreThis calculation represents anabolic and catabolic balance. Since DHEA acts not only as an anabolic hormone, but appears to down-regulate the cellular effects of cortisol, this measurement can theoretically enhance the predictive value of HPA axis dy

Learn moreEstriol is considered to be the mildest and briefest-acting of the three estrogens. Has weak estrogen activity. Considered to be a protective estrogen. Most prevalent estrogen in pregnancy.
Learn moreProduced by the ovaries, the estrone hormone is one of three types of estrogen, and it is one of the major hormones found in the bodies of postmenopausal women. While research into estrone function is still ongoing, largely due to the fact that it is
Learn moreThe P/E2 ratio describes the relationship between progesterone and estradiol levels, and is used clinically to ascertain dominance of one hormone compared to the other.
Learn moreProgesterone is important for normal reproductive and menstrual function, and influences the health of bone, blood vessels, heart, brain, skin, and many other tissues and organs. As a precursor, progesterone is used by the body to make other steroid
