What this test is
A hormone test panel is a group of blood tests that measure several hormones at once, such as testosterone, estrogen, and thyroid hormones. Panels are often tailored for men or women and may include additional markers based on health needs. Results can help assess general hormonal balance.
What it measures
- Testosterone — reflects male sex hormone levels and can also be measured in women
- Estradiol — a form of estrogen that reflects female sex hormone levels and can also be measured in men
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) — reflects pituitary function and reproductive health
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) — reflects pituitary function and reproductive health
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) — reflects thyroid gland activity
- Cortisol — reflects adrenal gland function and stress response
- Progesterone — reflects female reproductive hormone levels
What the test involves
A trained professional collects a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order hormone panels to investigate symptoms like fatigue, changes in mood, or reproductive concerns. They are also used to monitor ongoing hormone-related conditions or treatments.
Preparation
Preparation can vary depending on the specific hormones being tested. Always follow the collection lab's instructions regarding fasting, timing, or medication adjustments.
How results are reported
Results are typically reported as numeric values for each hormone measured, often with a reference range for comparison. Reference ranges can differ between laboratories, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab that performed the test.
