Just wondering if anyone could give ideas about what condition(s) would cause these hormones to be abnormal. I (nursing student) am stumped along with the MDs; no endocrine consult yet. I am not asking for medical advice. I have a patient I am trying to help. Any suggestions will be given to MD, and they will decide what to do.
Female patient with:
1.) Low testosterone for age.
2.) Low DHEA-S for age.
3.) High cortisol for age.
4.) Thyroid normal.
5.) New onset diabetes with little-to-no risk factors.
Also, blood and protein in urine for over a year, and many neuro and physical symptoms for past 2 months. CRP and sed rate elevated. Anemia that isn't B12 deficient or iron deficient. H&H look good. Lymphocytes low, monocytes high.
Thanks.
