This combination of tests gives a highly accurate indication of the testosterone levels in your body.

Identifying conditions for this test:

• Hormones
  Liver Function

Hormones (3 Biomarkers): Hormones play a crucial role in various bodily functions and processes, including growth, metabolism, appetite, and fertility. Imbalances or deficiencies in hormones can contribute to a wide range of symptoms and conditions.

Testosterone: Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the testes in males and the adrenal glands in both males and females. Its production is regulated by luteinizing hormone. During puberty, testosterone levels increase significantly in boys, leading to the development of body hair and muscle growth. Testosterone also influences the male sex drive and helps maintain muscle mass. While present in smaller amounts in females, testosterone still plays a role in their health. Testosterone tests are used to diagnose conditions such as erectile dysfunction and infertility in men.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is a protein produced by the liver. Its primary function is to bind and transport hormones such as estradiol, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone in the blood. The SHBG test is used to diagnose testosterone deficiency in men and to investigate testosterone production in women.

Free Testosterone Calculation: Free Testosterone Calculation measures the amount of unbound testosterone in the body. Unbound testosterone is the active form that can exert its effects. It is used in the diagnosis of conditions like erectile dysfunction and infertility in men.
