Abstract

The measurement of urinary conjugates of estrogen can provide equal or superior information compared to the more conventional evaluation of serum or plasma estradiol. Three types of situations are presented as examples to demonstrate this in regard to ovarian follicular activity. The first situation includes cases where blood samples could be collected but only with great difficulty. In these cases, urinary estrogen metabolites are used as an alternative strategy for the measurement of serum or plasma free estradiol. The second situation includes study designs in which blood could be easily collected, but because the physiologic event being studied occurs infrequently, serial urine collections are preferred over blood collections. In the third situation, blood samples can be collected as easily as urine but the evaluation of urine does not provide useful information.
