Adrenal Corticoids Profile (Urine)
€ 199,00
A comprehensive assessment of adrenal hormone output and stress physiology
The Adrenal Corticoids Profile provides a detailed analysis of adrenal steroid metabolites in urine.
It offers valuable insight into HPA-axis function, stress response, metabolic conversion pathways, and overall adrenal health.
This test is especially suited for individuals experiencing chronic stress, fatigue, sleep disturbance, mood changes, or suspected adrenal imbalance.

What this test evaluates
This profile includes a wide spectrum of adrenal corticoids and metabolites, giving a deep understanding of adrenal output and metabolic enzyme activity.
Primary Adrenal Hormones
- Cortisol
- Cortisone
- Tetrahydrocortisol (THF)
- Tetrahydrocortisone (THE)
- Allo-THF
- Corticosterone
- Allo-Tetrahyrdocorticosterone (allo-THB)
- Tetrahydrocorticosterone (THB)
Mineralocorticoid Pathway
- Aldosterone metabolites (THA, THB-series)
Androgen Pathway Markers
(Useful for cross-checking adrenal androgen contribution)
- DHEA metabolites (optional depending on laboratory setup)
- Androsterone
- Etiocholanolone
Ratios and Interpretation Insights
- Cortisol/cortisone balance (11β-HSD activity)
- 5α-reductase and 5β-reductase activity
- Total adrenal output
- Metabolic clearance patterns
- Indicators of HPA-axis dysfunction
This broader view helps clinicians distinguish between low production, excessive turnover, or impaired metabolic conversion, which is essential for accurate treatment planning.
Who should consider this test?
The Adrenal Corticoids Profile may be useful in individuals experiencing:
- Persistent fatigue or burnout
- Chronic stress exposure
- Sleep difficulties
- Daytime energy crashes
- Poor stress tolerance
- Mood swings or irritability
- Suspected cortisol imbalance
- Post-viral fatigue syndromes
- Hormonal symptoms not explained by sex-hormone testing alone
This panel is also helpful for monitoring recovery programs, adrenal-support therapies, and stress-modulating interventions.
Why urine testing?
Urine analysis offers a detailed look at both free hormones and downstream metabolites, which allows for:
- A more complete view of adrenal steroidogenesis
- Assessment of enzyme pathways and metabolic activity
- Detection of hidden dysregulation not visible in serum
- Better understanding of chronic patterns instead of single time-point measurements
For complex cases, urine metabolite testing is considered more informative than isolated blood cortisol values.
