About test
What does SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN (SHBG) measure?
This test measures sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), a protein that binds hormones such as testosterone and oestrogen in the blood. SHBG levels may help healthcare professionals assess the amount of hormone available to body tissues and interpret related hormone test results. It may be used when evaluating hormonal balance, reproductive concerns, or conditions that can affect sex hormone levels.
