What we test
Complete testosterone assessment including total testosterone, free testosterone calculation, SHBG, and albumin for comprehensive hormone evaluation and accurate diagnosis.
Total testosterone measures all testosterone in your blood, both bound and unbound, providing the baseline hormone level.
This is crucial for sexual development, maintaining muscle mass, bone density, and libido in both men and women.
Helps diagnose hormonal imbalances and potential health issues related to testosterone levels.
Essential for initial assessment of male hormone status and identifying potential deficiency.
Free testosterone represents the unbound testosterone that is available to be used by the body's cells.
Only about 2-3% of testosterone is free, but this is the biologically active portion that actually affects your body.
Calculated using total testosterone, SHBG, and albumin levels for accurate assessment.
Essential for diagnosing hormonal imbalances when symptoms persist despite normal total testosterone levels.
Provides superior diagnostic accuracy for hormone replacement therapy decisions.
SHBG is a protein produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones in the bloodstream.
It controls how much testosterone is available for your body to use by binding to it and making it inactive.
High SHBG levels can reduce free testosterone even when total levels are normal, leading to symptoms of low testosterone.
Helps evaluate hormonal balance and conditions like PCOS, hypogonadism, and metabolic syndrome.
Also provides insight into liver function and overall hormone metabolism.
Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma, produced by the liver.
It helps carry various substances including hormones, vitamins, and medications throughout your body.
Approximately 50% of testosterone is loosely bound to albumin and can become available when needed.
Essential for calculating free testosterone levels accurately using validated formulas.
Also indicates liver and kidney health, and can reveal potential inflammation or chronic conditions.
