Background: Measured endocrinological parameters (total testosterone [TT], free testosterone [FT], dihydrotestosterone [DHT], dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate [DHEAS], and sex hormone binding globulin [SHBG]) and calculated parameters (calculated FT (cFT), calculated bioavailable testosterone (cBT), and the free androgen index [FAI]) in women with hirsutism were compared to the values of a control group. The question remains if cFT or cBT are more appropriate markers for assessment of hyperandrogenemia in clinical situations such as hirsutism in women. Methods: Sixty-six women showed an modified Ferriman-Gallwey (mF-G) score of >= 6 and were classified as hirsutism group and 58 women showed mF-G scores of
