What to expect
The DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is the most detailed hormone and cortisol test we offer. You'll collect several dried urine samples at home across a single day using simple test strips, then mail the kit to the lab. It maps not just your hormone levels but how your body is metabolizing them, giving a fuller picture than a standard blood or saliva test. Results typically take about two weeks, and your provider will walk you through the full report at a follow-up visit.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to come in for an in-person visit?
No. Testing is coordinated through an at-home kit or a local lab draw, and your results are reviewed with you over a follow-up video visit.
How soon can I be seen?
Once your test is ordered, most kits ship within a few business days, and your provider will schedule a follow-up once results are in.
Why is this considered more comprehensive than a blood or saliva hormone test?
It measures hormone metabolites, how your body is actually processing and clearing hormones, in addition to levels, which a standard blood or saliva test doesn't capture.
