  5. Labs
    1. Serum Testosterone (normally 20-80 ng/dl)
      1. Measure on 2 separate occasions
      2. Level <200: Hyperandrogenic chronic Anovulation
      3. Level >200: Assess for virilizing tumor
    2. Serum 17a-Hydroxyprogesterone (normally <2 ng/ml)
      1. Test >4 ng/ml suggests Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
      2. Check adrenocorticotropic stimulation test
    3. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (normal 250-300 ng/dl)
      1. DHEAS <700 ng/dl: Hyperandrogenic chronic Anovulation
      2. DHEAS >700 ng/dl: Adrenal tumor Secreting androgens
    4. Other labs to consider
      1. Dexamethasone Suppression Test (AM Serum Cortisol)
        1. Assess for Cushing's Syndrome
      2. Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone
        1. Assess for ovarian tumors
      3. Lipid profile
        1. Lipids elevated in Hyperandrogenism

Virilism (C0042755)

Definition (NCI) The abnormal development of male secondary sexual characteristics due to excessive androgens.(NICHD)
Definition (NCI_CTCAE) A disorder characterized by inappropriate masculinization occurring in a female or prepubertal male.
Definition (MSH) Development of male secondary SEX CHARACTERISTICS in the FEMALE. It is due to the effects of androgenic metabolites of precursors from endogenous or exogenous sources, such as ADRENAL GLANDS or therapeutic drugs.
Definition (CSP) abnormal possession of mature masculine somatic characteristics by a girl, woman, or prepubescent; may be present at birth or may appear first later in life, depending on its cause; it may be relatively mild (hirsutism) or severe; commonly the result of gonadal or adrenocortical dysfunction, or may be produced by androgenic therapy.

Hyperandrogenism (C0206081)

Definition (MSH) A condition caused by the excessive secretion of ANDROGENS from the ADRENAL CORTEX; the OVARIES; or the TESTES. The clinical significance in males is negligible. In women, the common manifestations are HIRSUTISM and VIRILISM as seen in patients with POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME and ADRENOCORTICAL HYPERFUNCTION.
