Abstract
A method, device, or kit is provided which maintain a substantially physiological level of one or more steroid hormones in a mammalian subject in need thereof. The method, device, or kit includes providing to the subject at least one treatment regimen including replacement therapy for the one or more steroid hormones or metabolites or modulators thereof, wherein the at least one treatment regimen is determined based on steroid hormone levels prior to disease diagnosis in the subject and on current steroid hormone levels in the subject, wherein the at least one treatment regimen is configured to maintain the subject'"'"'s one or more steroid hormones or metabolites or modulators thereof at substantially physiological pre-disease levels. The method, device, or kit can be used for the treatment of a disease or condition in the mammalian subject.
