About the test

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) is a protein that binds to sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen, regulating their availability in the bloodstream. Measuring SHBG helps evaluate hormonal balance and can aid in diagnosing conditions such as androgen deficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid dysfunction.
