Order Testosterone Free & Total Testing | Low TTestosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testes in men and in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women. It circulates in the blood in two forms: bound to proteins such as sex hormone-binding globulin and albumin, and unbound, or free. The Testosterone Free & Total Panel measures both fractions, offering a more complete picture of testosterone status than either measurement alone.
About Testosterone Free & Total Testing | Low T in Lockport
Testosterone testing is used to evaluate conditions related to hormone imbalance, including low testosterone and infertility, in both men and women.
Total testosterone reflects the combined amount of testosterone in the bloodstream, most of which is attached to carrier proteins. Because binding proteins can vary between individuals, a total testosterone result alone may not fully reflect the amount of hormone available to tissues.
Free testosterone represents the small portion of circulating testosterone that is not bound to proteins and is therefore biologically active. Measuring free testosterone alongside total testosterone can help clarify cases in which total testosterone is borderline or when binding protein levels are altered.
This panel is typically ordered when symptoms suggest androgen deficiency or excess, when infertility is being investigated, or when a clinician needs to confirm an abnormal screening result. Results are interpreted alongside the patient's history, physical findings, and other laboratory data, and turnaround is generally one to three business days.
