Your fecal beta-glucuronidase is within the normal range. This enzyme is produced by gut bacteria and plays a role in deconjugating female-type hormones (estrogens) and other compounds in the gut, affecting their reabsorption.
Your fecal beta-glucuronidase is critically low. While high beta-glucuronidase is more commonly a concern, very low levels can indicate noticeable gut microbiome depletion and impaired intestinal enzymatic function.
Seek medical evaluation. This may reflect noticeable antibiotic-related dysbiosis or other significant gut microbiome disruption.
Beta-glucuronidase critically low — very impaired gut detoxification capacityYour fecal beta-glucuronidase is below the reference range. Low levels may reflect reduced harmful bacterial species that produce this enzyme. In the context of gut microbiome health, this can actually be a neutral-to-favorable finding if the microbiome is otherwise healthy.
Discuss with your doctor in the context of your overall gut microbiome assessment.
Beta-glucuronidase below reference range — reduced gut enzyme activityYour beta-glucuronidase is at the lower end of normal. This is not generally a clinical concern on its own.
No action needed.
Beta-glucuronidase: low-normal — borderline enzyme activityYour fecal beta-glucuronidase is within the normal range. This enzyme is produced by gut bacteria and plays a role in deconjugating female-type hormones (estrogens) and other compounds in the gut, affecting their reabsorption.
No specific action required.
Beta-glucuronidase within reference range — normal gut enzyme activityYour beta-glucuronidase is in the optimal range, indicating well-regulated gut bacterial enzyme activity and balanced enterohepatic circulation.
No action needed.
Beta-glucuronidase: optimal — well-regulated gut enzyme activityYour fecal beta-glucuronidase is above the reference range. Elevated enzyme activity increases the deconjugation and reabsorption of female-type hormones (estrogens) and other compounds in the gut (estrobolome dysfunction). This is linked to elevated estrogen-related cancer risks and is associated with certain patterns of gut dysbiosis and high animal protein/low fiber diets.
Increase dietary fiber (particularly cruciferous vegetables and flaxseed), reduce processed meat, and consider calcium-D-glucarate supplementation under medical guidance. Gut microbiome assessment is advisable.
Beta-glucuronidase above reference range — increased estrogen recirculation; gut dysbiosis possibleYour beta-glucuronidase is significantly elevated, indicating excessive deconjugation of female-type hormones (estrogens) and other carcinogens in the gut. High levels are associated with increased colorectal cancer risk, elevated circulating female-type hormones (estrogens) (relevant to breast and prostate cancer risk), and gut microbiome imbalance favoring harmful bacterial species.
Discuss with your doctor or functional medicine practitioner. Comprehensive gut microbiome assessment, dietary modification, and targeted probiotic therapy should be considered. Estrogen-related cancer risk factors should be reviewed.
Beta-glucuronidase significantly elevated — increased cancer risk pathway; gut dysbiosis presentYour beta-glucuronidase is critically elevated, representing noticeable gut microbiome imbalance with excessive deconjugation of female-type hormones (estrogens) and potentially toxic compounds. This level is associated with significant colorectal cancer risk and endocrine disruption from estrogen excess.
Seek gastroenterology and functional medicine evaluation. Comprehensive gut microbiome therapy, dietary overhaul, and cancer risk assessment are indicated.
