Order Testosterone Free & Total Testing | Low TTestosterone is the primary sex hormone in men and plays important roles in women as well. It circulates in the blood in two forms: bound to proteins such as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin, and unbound, or free. Testing both free and total testosterone provides a fuller picture of hormone status than either measurement alone.
About Testosterone Free & Total Testing | Low T in Bothell
Testosterone Free & Total Testing measures the amount of testosterone circulating in the blood, distinguishing between the protein-bound and unbound fractions.
Total testosterone reflects the combined amount of testosterone in the bloodstream, most of which is attached to carrier proteins. Free testosterone represents the small fraction that is not bound and is available for tissues to use. Because SHBG levels vary with age, weight, liver function, and other factors, total testosterone alone can sometimes be misleading.
Clinicians order this panel when evaluating symptoms that may relate to androgen excess or deficiency, such as unexplained fatigue, changes in libido, infertility, or irregular menstrual cycles. In men, it is commonly used in the workup of low testosterone, sometimes called Low T. In women, it may be used when signs of excess androgen production are present.
Results are interpreted alongside the person's symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings. Reference ranges differ by sex, age, and the laboratory performing the analysis, so values should always be reviewed in context by a qualified healthcare professional.
