I’m getting a hormone blood panel for suspicion of low testosterone and I want to make sure I get all the Important ones done.
From my research I need:
Total test Free test SHBG
Any other main ones that I’m missing(like estrogen)? Any advice is appreciated!
If you are getting labs done, then get the full work up. Look to see where blood counts are, lipids, everything else.
If you want just the basics for an HRT program you should get TT, FT, FSH, LH, E2 and SHBG. That’t the bare minimum. I would also throw in TSH, DHT, and IGF-1 if it were me. If you have other health concerns you would want a CBC with lipids and CMP.
Great thanks a bunch!
