About the test
Testosterone, Free & Total with SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) provides a comprehensive assessment of androgen status. Total testosterone reflects all circulating testosterone, while free testosterone represents the biologically active portion, and SHBG helps determine how much testosterone is bound versus available for use in the body.
Included biomarkers & Reference ranges
| Biomarker | Reference range |

| Albumin The main protein made by your liver, which helps balance fluids and carries hormones, vitamins, and medications through your blood. Low levels can point to liver, kidney, or nutrition issues. | 3.6–5.1 g/dL |
| Free Testosterone The small portion of your testosterone that's unbound and biologically active, considered a more accurate reflection of usable hormone than total testosterone. | — |
| Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) A protein that binds and transports testosterone and estrogen in your blood, determining how much hormone is 'free' and active. Important for interpreting sex hormone results. | M 10–50 nmol/L F 17–124 nmol/L |
