What is the purpose of this test?

The Testosterone Free, Equilibrium Ultrafiltration, With Total Testosterone Blood Test is a medical diagnostic test used to measure both total and free testosterone levels in the blood. Testosterone is a hormone responsible for the development of male characteristics such as muscle mass, bone density, and body hair. In women, it plays a role in reproductive and sexual health. Total testosterone is the amount of testosterone that is bound to proteins in the blood, while free testosterone is the amount of testosterone that is not bound and is available for use by the body. This test measures both total and free testosterone levels in the blood, providing a more accurate assessment of testosterone levels in the body.

This test can help diagnose conditions related to testosterone levels, such as low testosterone in men, which can cause symptoms such as decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and muscle weakness. In women, the test can help diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition characterized by irregular periods, ovarian cysts, and high levels of testosterone. The test can also be used to monitor testosterone replacement therapy in men.
