A Testosterone Total & Free test measures the levels of testosterone in the blood. Testosterone is a hormone that plays an important role in various aspects of health including muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, and overall well-being. It is present in both men and women, but the levels are significantly higher in men. The testosterone total test measures the total amount of testosterone circulating in the blood, including both bound and unbound forms. This test tells about the overall testosterone production. Free testosterone test measures the amount of unbound testosterone in the blood, which is not bound to proteins and is readily available for use by the body’s cells. This test is important for assessing the bioavailable testosterone that can exert its effects on various tissues and organs. 

A Testosterone Total & Free test is used to diagnose conditions related to testosterone levels, such as hypogonadism (low testosterone) or hypergonadism (high testosterone). Also, this test can help detect infertility, erectile dysfunction, early or delayed puberty in males, and menstrual irregularities or hormonal issues in females. Additionally, this test can help track hormone levels in individuals receiving testosterone replacement therapy. 

No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, it's noteworthy that testosterone levels are highest during the early morning and lowest in the evening. These levels increase with exercise and decrease with age.

Understanding Testosterone Total & Free

Testosterone is responsible for a range of essential functions, and its levels can significantly impact an individual's health and well-being. A Testosterone Total & Free test is a vital component of hormonal health assessment and is crucial in understanding the hormonal balance within the human body, particularly in males.

Testosterone is produced primarily by the testes in males and ovaries in females. It plays a key role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as facial hair and deepening of the voice. It contributes to muscle development and bone density, influences mood and energy, and is necessary for a healthy libido and optimal reproductive function. While it is chiefly a male sex hormone, testosterone is also produced in women in small amounts and affects the overall growth and development of muscles and reproductive tissues. Some of it is converted to estrogen, the primary female sex hormone.

Deranged testosterone levels can cause changes in health and physical appearance. A Testosterone Total & Free test helps assess male infertility and identify hormonal imbalances, particularly in men experiencing symptoms such as low libido, fatigue, mood disturbances, and muscle weakness. This test is also valuable for monitoring the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy in individuals with low testosterone levels. In women, a Testosterone Total & Free test detects conditions such as menstrual irregularities and hormonal issues like increased facial hair.

Usually, no special preparation is required for a Testosterone Total & Free test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, it should be noted that testosterone levels are highest during the early morning and lowest in the evening, and it increases with exercise and decreases with age.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. The results will help the doctor make informed decisions regarding treatment options, ultimately enhancing the quality of life and well-being.

What does Testosterone Total & Free measure?

Contains 2 tests

A Testosterone Total & Free test measures the total amount of testosterone in your body, including the testosterone that is bound to proteins: albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and the testosterone that is free and not bound to proteins.

The Testosterone Total test measures the level of testosterone hormone available in the blood. This includes two forms of testosterone: free testosterone and bound testosterone. Bound testosterone is attached to proteins, mainly to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin. It cannot enter the body's cells or directly affect tissues and organs. Instead, it acts as a store of testosterone in the blood and can be released when the body needs it. Free testosterone is not attached to any proteins and is the active form. It can easily transport to various tissues, and affects key functions like sex drive, muscle growth, bone strength, and energy levels.

Know more about Testosterone Total

The Testosterone Free test measures the level of unattached or free testosterone in the blood. It is called free testosterone or free T because it is not attached to other molecules, especially proteins. The body actively uses free testosterone as signaling molecules that regulate metabolism and other cellular functions.
