Androgen Deficiency Markers

Meaning

Androgen deficiency markers are a collection of clinical signs, symptoms, and biochemical parameters utilized to diagnose and monitor a state of insufficient androgen action, primarily testosterone, in both men and women. These markers extend beyond a single serum concentration, encompassing the physiological and psychological sequelae of hypogonadism. Accurate assessment requires integrating patient-reported outcomes with specific laboratory measurements of free and total testosterone, and often luteinizing hormone (LH).
