Required safety monitoring for men on or starting Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). This comprehensive panel ensures TRT is working effectively while monitoring for potential side effects on blood counts, organ function, cardiovascular health, and other hormones that can be affected by treatment.
The primary male sex hormone, responsible for energy, libido, muscle mass, mood, and bone density. Total testosterone is the starting point for identifying testosterone deficiency, hormonal imbalance, or conditions such as hypogonadism.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
A protein that binds to testosterone in your blood, making it unavailable for use by your tissues. High SHBG can reduce active testosterone even when total levels appear normal; low SHBG may indicate insulin resistance or liver changes. SHBG is essential context for interpreting your testosterone results accurately.
Free Testosterone (Calculated)
The fraction of testosterone not bound to SHBG - the portion your body can actually use. Free testosterone often gives a more accurate picture of hormonal availability than total testosterone alone, particularly when symptoms don't match total levels.
Albumin
The main protein in your blood and a key carrier of testosterone. Albumin levels are used in the calculation of free testosterone and also reflect general nutritional status and liver health.

If your first test indicates low T, we’ll send you a kit for your second test.This second test is a venous blood draw -you can either book a home visit via our partner Heim, or arrange for someone you know (such as a local nurse or phlebotomist) to take the sample using the kit provided. Payment for the second test is taken first; you’ll then receive a link by email to book your Heim appointment if needed.
