About test
What does Testosterone - Total measure?
This test measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood, including testosterone bound to proteins and the small amount that circulates freely. It may be used to help evaluate symptoms related to low or high testosterone levels, such as changes in sexual function, fertility, puberty, menstrual patterns, hair growth, or muscle mass. Healthcare professionals may also order it when assessing certain hormonal or endocrine conditions. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other hormone tests.
