Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Serum levels of the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) peak in men at the third decade of life and decrease progressively with age. As doctors, we are coming across an increasing number of middle-aged and older individuals who consume over-the-counter preparations of DHEA, hoping it will retard aging by increasing muscle and bone mass and strength, decreasing fat, and improving immunologic and neurobehavioral functions. Because DHEA can serve as a precursor to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), so may pose a cancer risk in developing occult prostate cancer. I would advise you to stop such over-the-counter supplements.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. When an Rh-negative woman reveals an indirect Coombs test (ICT) positive (more than 1:32 titer), then amniocentesis is performed, and the optical density of the amniotic fluid is determined by spectrophotometry (a sample of the amniotic fluid is collected from the mother with the help of a needle). If the bilirubin level is found to be in the danger zone, as seen by plotting in the Queenan and Liley curve, then cordocentesis and fetal exchange transfusion are performed to manage these women and improve neonatal outcomes. This is not required for your wife, as the values are mildly high.
