Q

What is Androstenedione for?

A

Measurement of androstenedione levels is useful in the evaluation of adrenal gland function, androgen production, ovarian/testicular function, as well in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients who have suspected cortisol-related enzyme deficiencies resulting in hyperandrogenism.

Indicated for the investigation of hyperandrogenism in women suspected of having PCOS.
