A metabolite of progesterone
Pregnanediol-3-glucuronide (PDG) is the primary urinary metabolite of the steroid hormone progesterone。 [1] Levels of PDG in the urine correlate to levels of progesterone measured in the serum.[1] [2]? Analysis of urinary PDG has been used to detect ovulatory and anovulatory menstrual cycles in women as well as to assess the fertility of ovulatory cycles.[3] [4]
