What is the purpose of this test?
The Androstenedione Serum Test Kit measures androstenedione levels in the bloodstream. Androstenedione is a precursor hormone to testosterone and estrogen and plays a significant role in hormone regulation and various physiological processes. By assessing androstenedione levels, this test kit provides valuable insights into adrenal and ovarian function, as well as overall hormonal balance. It aids in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal disorders, and androgen excess disorders. Additionally, monitoring androstenedione levels can help evaluate the effectiveness of treatments targeting hormonal imbalances. Overall, the Androstenedione Serum Test Kit empowers individuals and healthcare providers with essential information to optimize hormonal health and address potential underlying imbalances.
