Postmenopause Panel™ (PostM™) and Perimenopause Panel™ (PeriM™)
Menopause is a natural and usually gradual change in glandular function in women resulting in substantial shifts in hormone levels. The Postmenopause Panel™ provides measurements of six key hormones:
Estrone (E1)
Estradiol (E2)
Estriol (E3)
Progesterone (P)
Testosterone (T)
DHEA, DHEA-S (pooled)
The Perimenopause Panel™ contains the same components as the Postmenopause Panel™ but sampled twice, 13-15 days apart. The inclusion of FSH and LH in the expanded Postmenopause Panel™ (ePostM™) and expanded Perimenopause Panel™ (ePeriM™), extends the interpretation to include pituitary involvement.
