Help analyze my 24 hr hormone results

[Joseph878]

Hello,

I took this test through LEF/Meridaan Valley labs. I had some problems with fatigue and exercise intolerance and was curious if this test would show anything.
I'm a 48 year old male. I would appreciate any insight into the results. Thanks

24 Hour Urine for "fatigue and exercise intolerance." Essentially Worthless.

OMG I didn't notice the assay was conducted on urine until NOW.

I too would like to know WHO believed the use of urinary metabolites is a reliable means of establishing a cause and effect relationship bt a patients symptoms and "sex hormone" endocrine dysfunction, especially when those symptoms are a frequent occurrence in MOOD DISORDERS!
