Virilization Panel 1
Also known as: VIRIL PANEL
Use
This test aids in the detection and subclassification of hyperandrogenism. It is most useful in cisgender females and children with moderate/severe hirsutism or any degree of hirsutism when sudden in onset or rapidly progressive. It provides crucial diagnostic information for understanding the underlying causes of virilization, assisting in the evaluation of hormonal imbalances possibly indicating underlying disorders.
Special Instructions
This test is approved for use in New York state. Collect specimens between 6-10 a.m., using a serum separator tube or green (sodium or lithium heparin) tube. Lavender (EDTA) is also an acceptable alternative.
Limitations
Free or bioavailable testosterone measurements may provide supportive information. The test has not been FDA cleared or approved and is performed in a CLIA certified laboratory. It is intended for clinical purposes but may not fully determine all causes of hyperandrogenism.
