Test Details
A steroid panel 1: 6 steroids test is a type of blood test that measures the levels of six different steroids in the body. These steroids include testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, aldosterone, and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and is responsible for the development of male characteristics. Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone and plays a crucial role in the development of female characteristics. Progesterone is another female sex hormone that is involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Cortisol is a stress hormone that helps regulate metabolism and immune response. Aldosterone is a hormone that regulates blood pressure and electrolyte balance. DHEA is a precursor hormone that is converted into testosterone and estrogen in the body.
This steroid panel test is often used to evaluate hormone imbalances, monitor hormone replacement therapy, diagnose certain medical conditions, and assess adrenal gland function. Abnormal levels of these steroids can indicate various health issues, such as hormonal disorders, adrenal gland dysfunction, or certain types of cancers.
It is important to note that this test only measures the levels of these six steroids and does not provide a comprehensive assessment of all the hormones in the body. Additional tests may be needed to evaluate other hormones if necessary.
