What does the Androstenedione (urinary metabolites) test measure?

Androstenedione (urinary metabolites) (A4) is a clinical biomarker used in female-hormones assessment. Androstenedione is a C19 steroid synthesised in the adrenal cortex and ovaries, serving as a precursor to both testosterone and oestrone. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Androstenedione (urinary metabolites)?

Androstenedione is a C19 steroid synthesised in the adrenal cortex and ovaries, serving as a precursor to both testosterone and oestrone. Urinary metabolites represent integrated production over the collection interval and are useful in mapping the delta-4 androgen pathway.

Why is Androstenedione (urinary metabolites) measured?

Elevated urinary androstenedione may reflect adrenal hyperactivity, polycystic ovary syndrome, or ovarian androgen excess. It is part of the androgenic profile used to differentiate the source and pattern of hyperandrogenism.
