This highly accurate estradiol test is used to measure estradiol levels in men.
LabCorp Test #: 140244, CPT: 82670
What is this test?
The Estradiol, Sensitive test measures estradiol levels to the greatest degree of accuracy. Estradiol is the most common form of estrogen, and it is produced by men and women. Men require an Estradiol, Sensitive test because male bodies produce less estradiol than women and need a more sensitive test to ensure accuracy.
Who is this test for?
This test is for men who are considering a Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) protocol. Elevated estradiol levels can lead to symptoms like erectile dysfunction, low libido, and gynecomastia in extreme cases (a condition in which men develop male breast tissue). This test is also for men considering an aromatase inhibitor (estrogen blocker) to address the symptoms listed above.
