Understand Your Hormones Beyond Standard Bloodwork
Explore sex hormones, hormone metabolites, and cortisol patterns through dried urine testing. DUTCH Complete offers additional information to discuss with your healthcare provider.
A More Detailed Look at Hormone Health
DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. DUTCH Complete uses dried urine samples collected according to laboratory instructions to assess sex hormones, hormone metabolites, and patterns of cortisol and cortisone. These findings can help a healthcare provider explore how certain hormones are produced and metabolized.
At Whitehouse Family Medical, our mission is to offer thoughtful care that looks deeper while keeping your overall health in view. DUTCH Complete may add context beyond certain conventional hormone measurements, but it does not replace standard laboratory testing or a medical evaluation. A qualified healthcare provider can help determine whether this test is appropriate and interpret results alongside your symptoms and health history.

What does DUTCH Complete measure?
It evaluates sex hormones, selected hormone metabolites, and cortisol and cortisone patterns using dried urine samples. Your provider can explain which findings are relevant to your concerns.
Can this test tell me why I have symptoms?
Not by itself. Symptoms can have many causes, and hormone measurements are only one part of an evaluation that may include your history, examination, and other tests.
How do I collect the samples?
The kit includes instructions for collecting urine on filter paper at specified times. Follow the laboratory’s directions for timing, drying, and returning your samples.
Does sample timing matter?
Yes. Collection timing helps the laboratory assess patterns across the day. Follow the kit instructions and ask your provider or the laboratory if a direction is unclear.
Who should interpret my results?
A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the report in the context of your symptoms, health history, medications, and any other relevant findings.
Does DUTCH Complete replace standard blood tests or a medical evaluation?
No. Dried urine testing may add information in some situations, but it does not replace standard laboratory testing, a clinical evaluation, or your provider’s judgment.
