Androstenedione Test
Androstenedione is a C-19 (19 carbon atoms) steroid hormone found in men and in premenopausal women. Androstenedione is a steroid sex hormone which originates in the gonads, with a minor contribution from the adrenal glands (1.5-3 mg/day); in postmenopausal women, the adrenal gland makes up the major source of this hormone. This test is used when steroid abuse is suspected and also when women are suspected of virilizing syndromes, i.e. a condition where females develop male sexual characteristics because of high testosterone levels in them.
What is the Androstenedione Test?

Serum Androstenedione Test Result

Mildly increased levels in adults are usually idiopathic or show association with conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in women and the use of androstenedione supplements in men and women. However, values greater than or equal to 500 ng/dL can suggest an androgen-secreting adrenal, more commonly known as a gonadal-tumor.
