The “Hirsutism Test – Basic” is a basic panel of blood tests designed to assess hormone levels in individuals experiencing hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women in areas where hair is typically more common in men. The tests included in this panel are used to evaluate androgen hormone levels, which play a role in hair growth.

  1. Dehydroepiandrosterone-Sulfate (DHEAS): DHEAS is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It is a precursor to androgens, including testosterone. Elevated levels of DHEAS may contribute to hirsutism in some cases.
  2. Testosterone, Free: Free testosterone is the active form of testosterone that is not bound to proteins in the blood. Elevated levels of free testosterone can be associated with hirsutism and other androgen-related symptoms.
  3. Testosterone Total: Total testosterone measures the overall amount of testosterone in the blood, including both free and bound testosterone. Elevated total testosterone levels may be linked to hirsutism.

These tests help in evaluating and diagnosing the underlying hormonal causes of hirsutism. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and adrenal disorders can lead to increased androgen hormone levels, contributing to hirsutism.

It’s important to note that hirsutism can have various underlying causes, and additional tests and evaluations may be required to determine the exact cause in each individual case. Treatment for hirsutism may vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms.
