Comment:
DHEAS is an Indicator of adrenal cortical function, especially for differential diagnosis of virilization, and investigations of hirsutism
and alopecia in women. It is also of value in the assessment of adrenarche and delayed puberty.
Levels are increased in CAH, adrenal carcinoma, Cushing syndrome caused by adrenal hyperplasia, and PCOS. Extremely high
levels (>700 or 800 μg/dL) in women are suggestive of a hormone-secreting adrenal tumor. By contrast, levels are typically
normal in the presence of ovarian tumors.
Drugs that may increase DHEA-S levels include metformin, troglitazone, prolactin, danazol, calcium channel blockers (e.g.,
diltiazem, amlodipine), and nicotine

Abnormal LH levels are interpreted with increased or decreased levels of other fertility hormones such as FSH, estrogens,
progesterone, and testosterone.
Increased LH levels are associated primary ovarian hypogonadism and gonadotropin secreting pituitary tumors. Decreased LH

Abnormal FSH levels are interpreted with increased or decreased levels of other fertility hormones such as LH, estrogens,
progesterone, and testosterone.
Increased FSH levels are associated with menopause and primary ovarian hypofunction in females and primary hypogonadism in
males.Decreased FSH levels are associated with primary ovarian hyperfunction in females and primary hypergonadism in males.
Normal or decreased FSH levels are associated with polycystic ovary disease in females.

Normal prolactin secretion varies with time, which results in serum prolactin levels two to three times higher at night than during the
day.
Serum prolactin levels during the menstrual cycle are variable and commonly exhibit slight elevations during the mid-cycle. Prolactin
levels in normal individuals tend to rise in response to physiologic stimuli including sleep, exercise, nipple stimulation, sexual
intercourse, hypoglycemia, pregnancy, and surgical stress.
Prolactin values that exceed the reference values may be due to macroprolactin (prolactin bound to immunoglobulin).
Macroprolactin should be evaluated if signs and symptoms of hyperprolactinemia are absent or pituitary imaging studies are not
informative

Comment:
TSH is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary. TSH is a labile hormone & is secreted in a pulsatile manner
throughout the day and is subject to several non-thyroidal pituitary influences.Significant variations in TSH can occur with
circadian rhythm, hormonal status, stress, sleep deprivation, caloric intake, medication & circulating antibodies.
It is important to confirm any TSH abnormality in a fresh specimen drawn after ~ 3 weeks before assigning a diagnosis, as
the cause of an isolated TSH abnormality.
Bio Ref Range for TSH in uIU/ml (As per
For pregnant females
American Thyroid Association)
First trimester 0.1 - 2.5
Second trimester 0.2 – 3.0
Third trimester 0.3 – 3.0

Comment:
The measurement of SHBG can be an important indicator of a chronic or excessive androgenic activity where clinicalsymptoms
would seem to indicate androgen in excess, but androgen levels are normal. Elevated SHBG levels can be seen in persons with
androgen insensitivities, hyperthyroidism, cirrhosis of the liver and is found in patients on oral contraceptives or antiepileptic drugs.
Decreased concentrations of SHBG are often seen in men with hypothyroidism and androgen replacement therapy; where women
with hirsutism, virilism, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), elevated androgen levels, obesity and acromegaly will also see a
decrease in SHBG levels.
SHBG production is regulated by the androgen/estrogen balance, thyroid hormones, insulin, and dietary factors. Pregnant women
have markedly higher SHBG serum concentrations due to their increased estrogen production.

An indirect method calculation using equations has been used to derive the free testosterone concentration (Ftc) based on serum
Albumin, serum SHBG & serum testosterone values. Suggested clinical correlation.
Comment:
Usually, bioavailable and free testosterone levels parallel the total testosterone levels. However, a number of conditions and
medications are known to increase or decrease the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentration, which may cause total
testosterone concentration to change without necessarily influencing the bioavailable or free testosterone concentration, or vice
versa.
Treatment with corticosteroids and sex steroids (particularly oral conjugated estrogen) can result in changes in SHBG levels and
availability of sex-steroid binding sites on SHBG. In polycystic ovarian syndrome and related conditions, there is often significant
insulin resistance, which is associated with low SHBG levels. Consequently, bioavailable or free testosterone levels may be more
significantly elevated.
The correlation coefficient between bioavailable and free testosterone (by equilibrium dialysis) is 0.9606
