What this test is
The Comprehensive Male Hormone Blood Test Panel is a group of 18 tests that measure key hormones and other blood components. It is used to evaluate factors that can change with age and affect energy, mood, and overall well-being in men.
What it measures
- Total Testosterone — reflects the main male sex hormone
- Free Testosterone — measures the unbound, active portion of testosterone
- Estradiol — a form of estrogen that can affect male health
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH) — signals the testes to produce testosterone
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) — involved in sperm production
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) — a protein that binds to sex hormones
- DHEA-Sulfate — an adrenal hormone that can convert to sex hormones
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) — a protein produced by the prostate gland
What the test involves
A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm, typically at a lab or clinic. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, or changes in mood that could be related to hormone levels. It can also be used to monitor hormone levels over time or as part of a general health assessment.
Preparation
Follow the lab's instructions for preparation, which may include fasting or timing the test to a certain part of the day. Always confirm specific prep steps with the collection lab before your appointment.
How results are reported
Results are reported as numeric values for each marker, often with a reference range provided by the testing laboratory. Reference ranges can vary between laboratories, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the range used by the lab that performed the test.
