I am a 48-year-old female with symptoms of female-pattern alopecia for the past 15 years or so. Multiple types of treatment proved futile. I have suspected for sometime that I might have late-onset cah. I had serum labs tests drawn, with the follow results: 17-ohp = 0.33 ng/ml androstenedione = 3.0 ng/ml dheas = 109.80 ug/dl total cortisol (8 am) = 14.45 ug/dl 5-alpha dht = 158.35 pg/ml progesterone = 0.26 ng/ml prolactin = 23.29 ng/ml estradiol = 196.9 pg/ml testosterone = 0.27 ng/ml please explain to me the significance of these values, whether they are abnormal or not, and whether or not I have cah as I experienced early puberty (age 9 years) and had menarche at 10.5 years.
