A close friend, she is 45 years old. Her symptoms are complete lack of libido, mood disturbances, fatigue, increased abdominal fat, inability to lose weight despite proper eating and regular exercise. Not obese, just somewhat overweight with a BMI of 26 (165cm height and 71kg weight).
Lab reference ranges for age/gender are in round brackets. Tests were done between the 3rd and 5th day of her period.
Prolactin and cortisol are out of range, but I'd be grateful if someone can provide more insight for everything else, how does it correlate with symptoms, what should the optimal values be, as well as what to do next/how to treat.
Thank you!
Free T4 = 0.87 ng/dL (0.7 - 1.48 ng/dL)
TSH = 3.1391 µIU/mL (0.35 - 4.94 µIU/mL)
Antithyroglobulin = 2.66 IU/mL (< 4.11 IU/mL)
Anti-TPO = 0.29 IU/mL (< 5.61 IU/mL)
Prolactin = 39.17 ng/mL (5.18 - 26.53 ng/mL)
Testosterone = 0.97 nmol/L (0.48 - 1.85 nmol/L)
Cortisol @7am = 21.95 µg/dL (6-10am: 6.02-18.4 µg/dL, 4-8pm: 2.68-10.5 µg/dL)
ACTH = 55.69 pg/mL (7-10am: 7.2 - 63.3 pg/mL)
DHEA-S = 71.3 µg/dL (35.4 - 256 µg/dL)
SHBG = 83.2 nmol/L (18-144 nmol/L)
