Abstract
The authors conducted a study of the urine steroid profile in 56 women with acne in order to determine the form of their hyperandrogenism (HA). A ovarian form of HA was revealed in 28.7% of patients, a mixed form was revealed in 30.9%, and no laboratory signs of any hyperandrogenic state were revealed in 40.4%. The determination of the HA form enabled the authors to efficiently select a method of systemic treatment for the patients with the use of hormone drugs and to achieve excellent and good results in 70.4% for women with the ovarian form of HA and in 75.9% for women with the mixed form. As for the group of patients where no HA form was determined, good and excellent results were observed in 30.4% of women.
