24-hour urinary steroid hormone profiles are widely used in clinical diagnostics. Recent developments of natural hormone replacement therapies, available over the counter, as pregenolone, DHEA, and progesterone and by prescription, as bio-identical estrogen (bi-set, tri-est, or estriol) and testosterone have led to new applications for steroid hormone testing. The urinary hormone profiles can be used for diagnosis, dosage adjustment and monitoring of hormone balancing protocols. The 24-hour urine test is preferred by many practitioners, because nearly all hormones are secreted in 'bursts' and 'pulses' and a single blood draw or saliva collection (or even two or three of them) may not provide a representative sample.
