What is a Androstenedione (A4) Test in Bangalore ?

The Androstenedione (A4) test measures the level of a male-type hormone called androstenedione. This hormone is made mainly by the adrenal glands and the ovaries or testes. It helps the body produce other sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Measuring A4 can show if hormone levels are too high or too low. Doctors use it to help diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal or ovarian tumors, and causes of early or late puberty. It also helps evaluate unexplained hair growth, deepening voice, or irregular periods. Results are used with other hormone tests and imaging to guide treatment and monitoring.

Why Take a Androstenedione (A4) Test in Bangalore ?

Androstenedione (A4) is often included in androgen or adrenal panels when doctors investigate excess hair, acne, irregular menstrual cycles, virilization, or abnormal puberty timing. It helps diagnose PCOS, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or adrenal/ovarian tumors and monitor treatment. Abnormal levels can result from obesity and insulin resistance, endocrine diseases, or certain medications and hormone therapies. A family history of endocrine disorders or early puberty may make testing important.

What is a normal androstenedione level in Bangalore?plus

Normal androstenedione varies by sex, age and laboratory method. Typical adult male values are roughly 85–400 ng/dL (≈3–14 nmol/L); adult female values are commonly about 40–250 ng/dL (≈1.4–8.7 nmol/L), with fluctuations across the menstrual cycle and lower levels after menopause. Pediatric ranges are lower. Always compare your result to the lab’s reference range and discuss abnormal values with a clinician.

Is androstenedione A4 in Bangalore?plus

Yes — androstenedione is commonly abbreviated A4 (also called 4-androstenedione or androst-4-ene-3,17-dione). It’s an endogenous steroid produced by the adrenal glands and gonads, acting as a prohormone that can be enzymatically converted into testosterone and estrogens (notably estrone). It’s integral to steroidogenesis and is measured when assessing adrenal or gonadal hormone disorders.

What is an A4 test in Bangalore?plus

An A4 test is a simple, printable visual-acuity chart sized to A4 paper for basic home vision screening. It can reveal reduced clarity, blurriness, or distortion but isn’t a substitute for a professional eye exam. Accurate results need correct print scale and testing distance. If you notice persistent blurring, double vision, sudden changes, or other concerns, arrange a full eye assessment promptly.

What is androstenedione test for females in Bangalore?plus

An androstenedione test in females measures blood levels of androstenedione, an androgen produced by ovaries and adrenal glands. It's used to evaluate hirsutism, acne, virilization, irregular periods, suspected polycystic ovary syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or adrenal/ovarian tumors. Results help distinguish ovarian vs adrenal sources and monitor treatment. Testing is a simple blood draw; interpretation considers age, menstrual phase, and medications.

Is androstenedione high in PCOS in Bangalore?plus

Yes — androstenedione is often elevated in PCOS. Many people with PCOS have increased androstenedione alongside testosterone and DHEA‑S, contributing to hirsutism, acne and ovulatory dysfunction. Levels vary and a single measurement isn’t diagnostic; clinicians interpret androstenedione with other hormones and clinical signs. Management focuses on weight loss, combined oral contraceptives and anti‑androgen therapies when appropriate.

What happens if androstenedione is high in Bangalore?plus

Elevated androstenedione can cause androgenic effects—acne, increased facial/body hair, scalp hair loss, and menstrual irregularities or infertility in women; in severe cases, virilization. Causes include polycystic ovary syndrome, adrenal disorders (including congenital adrenal hyperplasia), or androgen-secreting tumors. High levels may signal metabolic issues and require endocrine evaluation; diagnosis uses blood tests and imaging, with treatment aimed at the underlying cause.
