Description

  1. Testosterone – Total Test: A laboratory test that measures the total amount of testosterone in the bloodstream, including both free (unbound) testosterone and testosterone bound to proteins such as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin.
  2. Purpose: This test is used to evaluate testosterone levels in individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as low libido, fatigue, infertility, and changes in mood. It is also used in the diagnosis of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and testosterone-secreting tumors.
  3. Test Methodology: A blood sample is drawn, and total testosterone levels are measured using immunoassays or mass spectrometry. The test can be performed in conjunction with other hormone tests for a comprehensive hormonal assessment.
  4. Normal Range: Total testosterone levels can vary based on age, sex, and the specific laboratory reference ranges. For adult males, normal total testosterone levels typically range from 300 to 1,000 ng/dL, while for adult females, the normal range is significantly lower, around 15 to 70 ng/dL.
  5. Interpretation:
    • Low Levels: May indicate testosterone deficiency, which can be caused by conditions such as hypogonadism, chronic illness, or certain medications.
    • High Levels: Elevated total testosterone levels can suggest conditions like adrenal hyperplasia, testosterone-secreting tumors, or hormonal imbalances in women.
  6. Clinical Relevance: The total testosterone test is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions related to testosterone production and metabolism, providing important insights for treatment options, including hormone replacement therapy and lifestyle modifications.
