An Androstenedione Test measures the level of androstenedione, a steroid hormone present in both men and women that the body can convert into testosterone or estrogen. It helps evaluate how well the adrenal glands, ovaries or testicles are functioning and is often used when symptoms of excess or deficient androgens are suspected, such as irregular puberty, infertility, excess hair growth or hormonal disorders like congenital adrenal hyperplasia and PCOS.

When is the Androstenedione Test prescribed?

The androstenedione blood test is prescribed when a healthcare provider suspects an imbalance in androgen hormones or wants to assess adrenal, ovarian, or testicular function. Androstenedione lab test ordered alongside other hormone tests if there are signs of excess androgens, such as irregular periods, infertility, acne, excessive facial or body hair, or virilisation in females or symptoms like precocious or delayed puberty in children. Doctors may also use it to help diagnose conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal or ovarian tumours, or to investigate ambiguous genitalia in infants. The results guide further evaluation and treatment planning.

How to Interpret Androstenedione Test Results?

Result Category	What It Suggests
Within normal range	Androstenedione levels are typical for age and sex (for example, in adults, levels are roughly 1.3-7.4 nmol/L in females and 1.4-6.2 nmol/L in males). This generally indicates balanced adrenal and gonadal androgen production. (androstenedione test normal range)
Elevated levels	Higher-than-normal (i.e., androstenedione test high) values may indicate excess androgen production by the adrenal glands or gonads. Mild elevations often occur in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), while significantly high results may indicate androgen-producing tumours or congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
Mildly elevated	Frequently associated with PCOS or idiopathic causes and usually interpreted along with clinical symptoms and other hormone tests.
Markedly elevated	May suggest androgen-secreting tumours or severe forms of CAH, typically requiring further diagnostic investigation.
Low levels	Although less common in adults, low values may indicate reduced adrenal or gonadal hormone production and may warrant further assessment with additional hormonal tests.

How to Prepare for the Androstenedione Test?

Preparing for an androstenedione test is generally simple. Fasting is not usually required, and regular eating and drinking can continue unless advised otherwise by a doctor. As hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day, sample collection may be scheduled in the morning to ensure more consistent results. It is important to inform the clinician about any medications or supplements being taken, as some may influence hormone levels. Avoiding strenuous exercise beforehand is also recommended. During the procedure, a blood sample is drawn to measure androstenedione levels in serum, helping to accurately assess adrenal and gonadal function. The test is available at Max Lab with assured quality and competitive pricing.

The Androstenedione Test measures the level of androstenedione in the blood. This test is used to diagnose congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol.

The test is used to help diagnose conditions associated with excess or defective production of androstenedione or testosterone, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, ovarian tumors, and testicular tumors. It can also be used to monitor treatment for these conditions.

The normal range of the Androstenedione Test is between 2 and 8 ng/mL.

There are a few things you can do to lower your androstenedione test results.

First, make sure you are getting enough sleep and rest.
Secondly, limit your alcohol intake.
Third, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Fourth, exercise regularly.
Finally, avoid stress as much as possible.

The Androstenedione Test is generally considered safe. The most common side effect is mild discomfort or bruising at the needle site.

Before you take an Androstenedione test, it is important to speak with your doctor and be sure that the test is right for you. There are a few things that could affect the results of your Androstenedione test, so it is important to be aware of them before taking the test.

Yes, fasting is required for the Androstenedione Test.

Yes, home sample collection is available for Androstenedione Test. One can opt for home collection while booking a test through Max Lab.

High androstenedione may cause acne, excess hair growth, irregular periods, fertility issues, and could indicate PCOS or adrenal disorders, requiring medical evaluation and further diagnostic hormone testing.

The androstenedione test evaluates adrenal, ovarian, or testicular hormone production, helping diagnose hormonal imbalances, puberty disorders, PCOS, CAH, and androgen-secreting tumours, providing essential insight into endocrine health.

Low androstenedione may cause fatigue, low libido, menstrual irregularities, reduced bone strength, and could indicate ovarian insufficiency, adrenal dysfunction, or hormonal disorders requiring clinical assessment.

Spearmint tea, flaxseeds, soy, green tea, whole grains, and leafy vegetables may naturally reduce androgen levels, helping with PCOS symptoms and hormonal balance.

Normal levels vary by age and sex; adults typically range around 1.3-7.4 nmol/L in females and 1.4-6.2 in males, depending on laboratory reference values.
