What this test is

This test measures total testosterone, the main sex hormone in males and an important hormone in females. Total testosterone includes testosterone that is bound to proteins and the small amount that is free. It is often ordered when symptoms suggest a hormone imbalance.

What it measures

  • Total Testosterone — reflects the overall amount of testosterone in the blood, including bound and free forms
  • Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) — sometimes measured to help interpret total testosterone levels
  • Free Testosterone — calculated or measured separately to show the unbound, active portion

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test to investigate symptoms such as low energy, decreased sex drive, or unexplained changes in body composition. It can also be used to monitor hormone levels during treatment.

Preparation

Preparation instructions can vary, so follow the specific instructions provided by the collection lab. This may include timing the test for the morning or avoiding certain foods or medications.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numerical value, often in nanograms per deciliter or nanomoles per liter. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and by factors such as age and sex, so your results should be interpreted by a clinician.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications or supplements should be avoided before the test
  • If a specific time of day is preferred for the blood draw
