An estrone test measures the level of estrone, a form of estrogen, in your blood. It is often ordered to evaluate hormone balance, especially in women who are postmenopausal or who have symptoms related to estrogen levels.

What it measures

  • Estrone (E1) — The main estrogen produced after menopause; helps assess overall estrogen status.
  • Estradiol (E2) — Often measured alongside estrone to give a fuller picture of estrogen activity.
  • Estriol (E3) — Another estrogen that may be included, especially during pregnancy.

Who it is for

A healthcare provider may order an estrone test for women with symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as hot flashes or irregular periods, or to monitor hormone therapy. It is also used in some cases of suspected estrogen-producing tumors.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell your provider about any hormone medications, as they can affect results; timing may depend on your menstrual cycle or menopause status.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a number with a reference range, typically in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). Your clinician interprets the result along with your symptoms and other tests. This information is not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
