Androgen Replacement Therapy Principles

Meaning

These principles encompass the foundational clinical guidelines and best practices for administering exogenous androgens, most commonly testosterone, to patients presenting with documented hypogonadism. The primary goal is to restore serum androgen concentrations to physiological reference ranges appropriate for the individual’s age and clinical presentation. Careful consideration is given to patient selection, risk assessment, and therapeutic monitoring to ensure treatment efficacy and safety. A personalized approach is paramount for achieving optimal clinical outcomes while mitigating potential adverse effects.
