Estriol Unconjugated Free (E3) Pregnancy Hormone Test
We understand that pregnancy can bring both joy and anxiety. Monitoring your baby’s health is our top priority, and the Estriol E3 test provides the reassurance you need during this special time. This essential screening helps ensure your pregnancy is progressing as it should, giving you peace of mind when you need it most.
Understanding Your Estriol E3 Test
Estriol Unconjugated Free (E3) is the primary estrogen produced during pregnancy, primarily by the placenta. Unlike other pregnancy hormones, E3 comes directly from your baby’s adrenal glands and liver, making it an excellent indicator of fetal wellbeing. Our advanced chemiluminescent immunoassay technology provides precise measurements that help your healthcare provider monitor your pregnancy’s progress with confidence.
Think of E3 as your baby’s health report card – it tells us how well the placenta is functioning and whether your baby is developing normally. This simple blood test can provide crucial information that helps ensure both you and your baby remain healthy throughout your pregnancy journey.
Who Should Take This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- High-risk pregnancy concerns
- Previous pregnancy complications
- Maternal age over 35
- Family history of genetic conditions
- Abnormal ultrasound findings
- Multiple pregnancy (twins or more)
- Diabetes or hypertension during pregnancy
Many expectant mothers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and throughout South Africa choose this test for the added reassurance it provides. Whether this is your first pregnancy or you’ve been through this journey before, monitoring E3 levels can help detect potential issues early, when intervention is most effective.
