[QUOTE="AndrogenHacker, post: 185767, member: 39194"] It's not common practice to test for hormones in the critical care type setting... Ever... In the 6 years I've been an ICU nurse, I've seen testosterone levels checked once. And that was only because I pushed for it. The patient was a young bodybuilder who has an ischemic stroke because of his steroid abuse. He had been there laying in bed intubated several days before I took care of him for the first time. I asked the Doc about his hormone levels and doc was like " I had dent even thought about that, yeah go ahead and check em" *shrug* It's just not on anyones radar, unfortunately. In their defense though if a patient is in icu, there are other much more important medical issues that need to be addressed first - like saving their life. All that to say: I have no clue if there is a correlation... But I have a hunch. [/QUOTE]
