Serum Estradiol

Meaning

The quantifiable concentration of 17β-estradiol, the most potent and biologically significant form of estrogen in the human body, measured directly in the blood serum. This measurement is a critical clinical biomarker for assessing ovarian function in premenopausal women, diagnosing estrogen deficiency or excess, and precisely monitoring the efficacy and safety of hormone replacement therapy. Serum estradiol levels are essential for evaluating bone density, reproductive health, and overall endocrine balance.
