What is the purpose of this test?

The Testosterone Free and Total Blood Test Panel is to measure the levels of testosterone in your blood. Testosterone is a hormone that is important for both men and women. It affects things like muscle mass, energy levels, and mood. The panel includes two tests: a Testosterone Total Blood Test and a Testosterone Free Serum Test.

The Testosterone Total Blood Test measures the overall amount of testosterone in your blood, including the testosterone that is attached to proteins. The specific test in this panel, called the LC/MS-MS method, is very accurate and is especially useful for women and men with low testosterone levels (hypogonadal males).

The Testosterone Free Serum Test measures the testosterone that is not attached to proteins and is freely available for use by your body. By looking at both total and free testosterone levels, doctors can get a complete picture of your hormone health and decide the best treatment if you have symptoms of low testosterone, like tiredness or muscle loss.

The Testosterone Free and Total Blood Test Panel includes:

  • Testosterone Total Blood Test, Women and Hypogonadal Males, LC/MS-MS - A Testosterone Total Blood Test for Women and Hypogonadal Males, LC/MS-MS, measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood using a very accurate method called LC/MS-MS, which helps in diagnosing low testosterone levels.
  • Testosterone Free Serum Test - A Testosterone Free Serum Test measures the amount of testosterone in the blood that is not attached to proteins and is available for the body to use.
