Test Details

The androstenedione test evaluates the level of an androgen hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands and ovaries. This hormone plays a key role in the development and regulation of male and female sex characteristics. The test is particularly useful for identifying excessive androgen production in women, which can lead to symptoms such as unwanted hair growth, severe acne, and menstrual cycle irregularities. It also helps diagnose infertility linked to hormonal imbalances. In men, the test assesses the balance between androgens and cortisol and can help identify hormonal imbalances affecting fertility or overall health. Additionally, it is used to monitor treatment for adrenal or hormonal disorders, allowing physicians to adjust therapy and ensure effective results.
