Testosterone,Free and Total

What is this test?

The Free and Total Testosterone test measures the complete amount of testosterone in your blood. It measures free Testosterone, which is the amount of unbound Testosterone that your body can utilize. This test also measures total Testosterone, or the amount of bound and unbound Testosterone. Both free and total measurements are important in diagnosing a testosterone deficiency – also called hypogonadism in men.

Who is this test for?

This test is for men and women who want to check their Testosterone levels. It is for anyone considering Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) or Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Symptoms of low Testosterone can include sexual dysfunction, low libido, weight gain, changes in body composition, difficulty building muscle, insomnia, and mood issues. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a Free and Total Testosterone test can help determine If a Testosterone deficiency may be the cause.

It’s important to receive a comprehensive blood test to help accurately identify a potential hormone deficiency, as well as rule out other potential health conditions that could be contributing to your symptoms.
