| Usage: | This assay is useful in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism. It is a crucial sex steroid precursor. In conjunction with other androgenic precursors, it is used in the diagnosis/monitoring of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). It is also useful in the diagnosis of Premature adrenarche. Androstenedione response to ACTH may be useful in the differential diagnosis of androgen excess in women. Some genetic abnormalities like P450 Oxidoreductase deficiency may be difficult to diagnose by these biochemical means. | ||||||
