Steroid Panel 2: 9 Steroids Test – Comprehensive Hormone Analysis
Understanding Steroid Hormone Testing
The Steroid Panel 2: 9 Steroids Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic approach to evaluating the body’s complex endocrine system. This comprehensive analysis measures nine critical steroid hormones that play vital roles in metabolism, stress response, reproductive health, and overall physiological balance. Using advanced LC-MS/MS technology, our test provides unparalleled accuracy in hormone quantification, making it an essential tool for diagnosing adrenal disorders and hormonal imbalances.
What This Test Measures
Our Steroid Panel 2 analyzes the following nine essential hormones:
- Androstenedione – A precursor to testosterone and estrogen
- DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) – The most abundant steroid hormone in the body
- DHEAS (DHEA Sulfate) – The sulfated form providing stable measurement
- Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – A potent androgen hormone
- Estradiol – The primary form of estrogen
- 17-Hydroxyprogesterone – Key marker for congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Progesterone – Essential for menstrual cycle and pregnancy
- Testosterone, Total – Primary male sex hormone
- 11-Deoxycorticosterone – Precursor to aldosterone
Who Should Consider This Test?
This comprehensive steroid panel is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
- Chronic fatigue and low energy levels
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Irregular menstrual cycles in women
- Decreased libido or sexual dysfunction
- Hair loss or excessive hair growth
- Suspected adrenal fatigue or insufficiency
- Infertility issues
- Metabolic disorders
- Monitoring hormone replacement therapy
Clinical Importance and Applications
The Steroid Panel 2 is particularly valuable for diagnosing disorders of the adrenal gland, including Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It also helps identify polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), androgen excess conditions, and various endocrine imbalances that affect overall health and quality of life.
Benefits of Comprehensive Steroid Testing
- Early Detection – Identify hormonal imbalances before they progress to more serious conditions
- Precision Diagnosis – LC-MS/MS technology ensures accurate hormone quantification
- Personalized Treatment – Results guide targeted therapeutic interventions
- Comprehensive Assessment – Multiple hormone measurements provide complete endocrine profile
- Monitoring Capability – Track treatment effectiveness and hormonal changes over time
- Non-Invasive Procedure – Simple blood draw with minimal discomfort
Understanding Your Test Results
Your Steroid Panel 2 results will provide detailed measurements for each of the nine hormones. Our endocrinology specialists will help interpret these values in the context of your symptoms, age, gender, and overall health status. Abnormal levels may indicate:
- Elevated Cortisol Precursors – May suggest adrenal hyperplasia or tumors
- Low DHEA/DHEAS – Could indicate adrenal insufficiency or aging-related decline
- High Androgen Levels – May point to PCOS, adrenal tumors, or other androgen excess conditions
- Estrogen/Progesterone Imbalances – Can affect menstrual regularity and fertility
- Testosterone Variations – Important for both male and female health assessment
