Advanced DUTCH Hormones Test Australia

$435.00 AUD

Experiencing hormonal symptoms that standard blood tests haven't been able to explain?

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) measures 35+ hormone markers and their metabolites from dried urine samples collected over a 24-hour period. It covers oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, cortisone, melatonin, and key metabolic pathways.

What sets the DUTCH apart from standard blood hormone tests is that it tracks how your body produces, uses, and breaks down hormones. This gives your practitioner a more detailed view of hormone metabolism, not just circulating levels.

Overview

The DUTCH test is one of the most detailed hormone panels available in Australia. It measures 35+ markers from dried urine collected at multiple points over a 24-hour period, covering:

  • Oestrogen metabolites (including 2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH pathways)
  • Progesterone metabolites
  • Testosterone and androgen metabolites (including 5a-DHT pathway)
  • Cortisol and cortisone (free and metabolised) at multiple time points
  • Melatonin (6-OH-melatonin-sulfate)
  • DHEA and DHEA-S
  • Organic acid markers related to B12, B6, glutathione, and dopamine/noradrenaline metabolism

By measuring metabolites rather than just parent hormones, the DUTCH shows how your body is processing hormones through different enzymatic pathways. This can be especially useful for women navigating perimenopause, menstrual cycle issues, or hormonal symptoms, as well as anyone investigating cortisol patterns or androgen metabolism.

You collect dried urine samples at home on filter cards at specified times over a 24-hour period.

Symptoms

You might choose this test if you:
- Have symptoms that may be related to hormone imbalance (fatigue, mood changes, irregular cycles, weight changes)
- Want to understand how your body metabolises oestrogen, not just total levels
- Are in perimenopause or menopause and want a detailed hormone picture
- Have been recommended the DUTCH by a practitioner
- Want cortisol rhythm data alongside sex hormone and metabolite levels in one test
- Have had standard blood hormone tests that came back "normal" but still have symptoms

Questions

  • The DUTCH test measures both hormone levels and their metabolites, showing how your body processes hormones. It provides 35+ markers versus 3-5 in basic tests, offering a complete hormonal picture impossible with other methods.
  • Metabolites show how your body breaks down hormones, which affects symptoms and health risks. Two people with identical hormone levels can have completely different symptoms based on their metabolism patterns.
  • Yes, but timing and interpretation may need adjustment. Consult with your healthcare provider about whether to pause treatments before testing or how to interpret results while on therapy.
  • Dried urine testing is highly accurate and stable, often more so than blood or saliva for certain hormones. The LC-MS/MS analysis method is the gold standard for hormone measurement.
  • It's valuable for estrogen dominance, adrenal dysfunction, PCOS, fertility issues, menopause symptoms, male hormone imbalances, sleep disorders, mood issues, and metabolic problems.
  • Initially for baseline, then every 3-6 months during active treatment, and annually for maintenance monitoring once hormones are optimized.

How to prepare

You'll collect dried urine samples on filter cards at specified times over a 24-hour period (typically evening, overnight, and the following morning). The kit includes detailed instructions on timing and collection.

Key preparation points:
- Your practitioner may advise specific timing based on your menstrual cycle (if applicable)
- Some supplements and medications can affect results. Check with your practitioner before your collection day
- Avoid excessive fluid intake around collection times
- Follow the timing schedule as closely as possible for accurate cortisol rhythm mapping

After the test

Work with healthcare providers experienced in dried urine test interpretation for comprehensive treatment planning. Address imbalances through targeted supplementation, lifestyle modifications, stress management, and personalised hormone optimisation strategies.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Your report will cover a wide range of markers grouped into categories:

Oestrogen metabolism: Shows how your body processes oestrogen through the 2-OH, 4-OH, and 16-OH pathways. The balance between these pathways may have clinical significance, and your practitioner can assess whether the pattern warrants attention.

Progesterone metabolites: Reflect progesterone production and metabolism, which can be helpful for understanding cycle-related symptoms.

Androgens: Testosterone, DHT pathway metabolites, and DHEA/DHEA-S. May be relevant for symptoms like acne, hair changes, or energy levels.

Cortisol and cortisone: Free cortisol at multiple time points maps your daily rhythm. Metabolised cortisol shows total production. The cortisol-to-cortisone ratio provides additional context.

Melatonin: A marker for sleep-wake cycle patterns.

Organic acids: Indirect markers related to nutrient status (B12, B6, glutathione) and neurotransmitter metabolism.

This is a detailed report. Working with a practitioner experienced in DUTCH interpretation is strongly recommended so the results are placed in the proper context of your symptoms and health history.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.
