Low Testosterone, High Estrogen, and COVID-19 Mortality
This chapter discusses an article that challenges the belief that androgens are solely responsible for COVID-19 mortality in males. It explores the idea that low total testosterone levels or a high estrogen to testosterone ratio may actually predict a hyperinflammatory state and mortality. The chapter also touches on the use of estrogen as a protective factor, the termination of treatment, and the potential use of synthetic progesterone.
