Re: Adrenal Hormones From: Harvey S.

Marchbein, M.D.: "Re: Bleeding & Bromocriptin" In reply to: Mary: "Adrenal Hormones" Your history could takes hours to fully dicuss, but the following is a starting point. Outside of the DHEAS, I see no other results. Classically, PCO is associated with an elevated LH in a 3:1 ratio to FSH. No other androgen levels were noted in your post. There is a syndrome called HAIR-AN which involves HyperAndrogenism, Insulin Resistance and Acanthosis Nigrans. If the gyncologist doesn't feel comfortable investigating this, you should see and endocrinolgist for a full evaluation. With an elevation of DHEAS, an abnormality of the adrenal gland must be investigated as a possible cause. An endocrinologist can recommend the appropriate tests including a possible Dexamethasone suppression test. Although the workup may prove to be negative, it should be completed. -- Harvey S.
