11-Hydroxy-androsterone (24hr urine)

High urinary 11-Hydroxy-androsterone levels are generally associated with androgen excess.

Androgen excess:
- Metabolic Syndrome (“Syndrome X”)
- Acne
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
- Prostatism (nocturia, dysuria)
- Male Pattern Balding

In the Genova complete hormone test this marker is part of the "Total 17-ketosteroids" group. Please refer to the "Total 17-ketosteroids" marker for more information.

Low urinary 11-Hydroxy-androsterone levels are generally associated with androgen deficiency.

Androgen deficiency: 
- Fatigue
- Muscle Weakness and Atrophy
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Loss of Libido

In the Genova complete hormone test this marker is part of the "Total 17-ketosteroids" group. Please refer to the "Total 17-ketosteroids" marker for more information.

11-Hydroxy-androsterone is a that is an end product of androgen catabolism.

In the Genova complete hormone test this marker is part of the "Total 17-ketosteroids" group.

Androgens are important hormones in the health of both men and women. Testosterone and DHEA are metabolized into what is collectively known as the 17-ketosteroids (DHEA is formally included as a 17-ketosteroid). Together, these markers provide a comprehensive assessment of androgen sufficiency, as well as evaluating the need for, and monitoring of, androgen hormone therapy.
