Androgenic Status Metrics

Meaning

Androgenic Status Metrics encompass the quantitative biological markers used in clinical practice to assess the overall functional capacity and availability of androgen hormones within a patient’s system. These metrics include the direct measurement of total and free testosterone, DHEA-S, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), alongside crucial binding proteins like Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). The comprehensive evaluation of these parameters is essential for diagnosing conditions like hypogonadism in males and hyperandrogenism in females. Accurate metric interpretation guides personalized therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring endocrine balance and optimizing physiological function.
