Description

An Androgen Profile Test is a blood test measuring key male hormones (androgens like testosterone, DHT) and related proteins (SHBG) to assess hormonal balance, crucial for diagnosing issues like PCOS, infertility, low libido, acne, or excess hair growth in both men and women. It provides insights into total and free testosterone, calculating the Free Androgen Index (FAI) to show active hormone levels, helping doctors manage treatment for various endocrine & reproductive conditions.   What It Measures (Key Components) Total Testosterone: Overall testosterone in the blood.  Free Testosterone: The active, unbound portion of testosterone.  Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG): A protein that binds to testosterone, regulating its availability.  Free Androgen Index (FAI): A calculated ratio of Total Testosterone to SHBG, indicating the amount of biologically active androgen.  Other Androgens: Sometimes includes DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) and Androstenedione.  Why It's Done (Reasons for Testing) In Women:  Diagnose PCOS, hirsutism (excess hair), acne, irregular periods, infertility.  In Men:  Investigate low libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility, or monitor testosterone replacement therapy.  General:  Evaluate adrenal disorders, pituitary issues, or androgen-producing tumors.  Preparation & Procedure Typically a blood sample (serum). May require fasting, but check with your lab/doctor. Inform your doctor about all medications. Often best done as a morning sample.  What Abnormal Results Mean High Levels:  Can point to PCOS, adrenal issues, or tumors, causing symptoms like acne, hair growth, or irregular cycles.  Low Levels:  May indicate hypogonadism in men or hormonal imbalances affecting fertility in both sexes.  Welcome to Nidan Pathology Laboratory, your trusted partner in comprehensive healthcare services., we specialize in delivering accurate pathology blood tests and preventive health check packages.
