Adrenal Androgen Excess

Meaning

This clinical state denotes a hypersecretion of androgen hormones, such as DHEA-S and androstenedione, primarily originating from the adrenal cortex. This endocrine imbalance leads to supraphysiological levels of these steroid hormones circulating in the bloodstream. The resulting hormonal milieu can significantly impact the patient’s metabolic and dermatological health. Recognizing this excess is critical for targeted intervention in hormonal health.
