Clinical Utility

The DUTCH Plus test provides a comprehensive assessment of hormone production, metabolism, and adrenal function through dried urine and saliva samples collected over a 24-hour period. It offers insight into diurnal cortisol patterns, the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR), and downstream hormone metabolites, which can help identify patterns of hormonal imbalance or stress response dysregulation.
