Testosterone, Free and Total, MS

This comprehensive panel provides a precise measurement of both free and total testosterone levels using advanced mass spectrometry technology. Understanding these levels is crucial for evaluating male testicular function, especially in prepubescent or hypogonadal individuals. For women, this testing is highly valuable in managing conditions like hirsutism and virilization. Clinicians also use this data to evaluate testicular function when testosterone-binding proteins may be altered, such as in cases of obesity, cirrhosis, or thyroid disorders. This detailed analysis offers the essential information needed to guide diagnosis and treatment for hormonal imbalances.
