adrenarche signs and tests

[Guest guest]

Pattie,

Sorry I took a while to reply; it's been a busy week. had a blood test

for premature adrenarche. One thing they looked at was a hormone called

DHEA; 's level was slightly above the normal range, indicating that he

was in adrenarche. Other symptoms that he has are acne, pubic hair, and

underarm odor. However, he isn't showing signs of puberty yet, and his

testosterone levels are still low.
