Estriol Unconjugated (E3) is a diagnostic blood test that measures specific markers to assess organ function, detect abnormalities, or monitor a known health condition. Your doctor will order it as part of either a routine preventive check or a targeted investigation based on your symptoms.
What does Estriol Unconjugated (E3) measure?
Estriol Unconjugated (E3) measures the level of unconjugated estriol, a form of the estrogen hormone. Most estriol in pregnancy comes from the placenta and the fetus. It helps show how the fetus and placenta are functioning. The specific marker measured depends on the test your doctor has ordered.

Reference ranges represent values within which 95% of healthy people fall. A result just outside this range does not automatically mean disease is present , clinical context matters.
