DUTCH Cycle Mapping with Adrenals Bundle (female only)

What this laboratory test evaluates

Cycle Mapping
Getting a clearer picture of a woman’s cycle can provide answers to important questions for patients with month-long symptoms, infertility, and PCOS. The DUTCH Cycle Mapping™ tracks the progesterone and estrogen patterns across the menstrual cycle – mapping 9 targeted hormone measurements throughout the cycle to characterize the follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases. While for some women, testing reproductive hormones on a single day is sufficient – this test provides a more detailed clinical picture of the reproductive hormonal pattern that cannot be adequately captured without mapping the full cycle.

Adrenals
This test monitors daily free cortisol and cortisone patterns along with measurements of associated metabolites and DHEAs. Utilizing a liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry collection method, this DUTCH Adrenal profile is one of the most accurate and easy-to-use tests for measuring adrenal hormones and metabolites.

How Sunridge uses laboratory information

Sunridge considers the medical question, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and whether the finding could change care before recommending testing. A laboratory result is not interpreted in isolation and does not establish a diagnosis by itself.
