Biomarkers

Testosterone
Testosterone, the primary androgenic hormone, is produced in the testicles. It plays a crucial role in regulating male characteristics and supporting male sexual development.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHGB)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced in the liver that binds to three key sex hormones: dihydrotestosterone (DHT), testosterone, and estrogen. Elevated levels of SHBG can significantly reduce the amount of free testosterone available in the body, which may impact various physiological functions.
Albumin
Albumin, the most abundant serum protein in the blood, plays a key role in binding to testosterone. This binding directly influences the levels of free testosterone available in the body. Therefore, testing albumin levels is essential for accurately calculating free testosterone levels.
Free Testosterone Calc

Albumin, the most abundant serum protein in the blood, plays a key role in binding to testosterone. This binding directly influences the levels of free testosterone available in the body. Therefore, testing albumin levels is essential for accurately calculating free testosterone levels.

Information

Symptoms of Low Free Testosterone Levels
Free testosterone refers to the bioavailable testosterone in the body, which differs from total testosterone, as total testosterone includes both bound and unbound (free) testosterone.

Low free testosterone levels may lead to various symptoms, including:

Poor muscle development
Persistent fatigue
Increased risk of obesity
Depression
Irritability
Erectile dysfunction
Decreased sex drive

Additional Insight from Dr Sameer Nakedar, MBBS, MRCGP, PGCert
Testosterone is a key male sex hormone that naturally declines with age. Low levels of testosterone can impact various aspects of health, including reduced sex drive, disrupted sleep, mood swings, decreased muscle mass, low energy levels, and an increase in abdominal fat.

A testosterone blood test provides insight into your hormone levels. For males, the results can help identify abnormal levels that might require further evaluation or treatment to address symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Why take a Free Testosterone Blood Test?

If you’ve been feeling symptoms of low energy, depression, irritability, erectile dysfunction and reduced sex drive it may be due to a lack of free testosterone within the body. This test measures the available testosterone within the body to determine if your body is producing healthy levels and if further treatment is needed.

%

of men maintain normal levels of testosterone into old age
According to the British Society for Sexual Medicine, findings from the European Male Aging Study involving 3,000 men aged 40 to 79 indicate that testosterone deficiency (TD) is not solely a condition of aging. While TD is more prevalent among older men, it is also commonly associated with individuals who have obesity, comorbidities, or poor overall health.

%

of men across the UK have been diagnosed and treated for TD
At the Centre for Men’s Health, Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) addresses testosterone deficiency (TD), which affects 20% (2 million) of men over the age of 50. Despite its prevalence, only a small percentage of cases are identified and treated.
Experts Opinion Free Testosterone Tests
Testosterone levels can fluctuate throughout the day, with variations occurring at different times. Hormones function in an interconnected network, and while some may be present in higher levels in women, imbalances in other hormones can also significantly affect male health.

FAQs

How can a blood test determine female fertility?
A blood test can help determine if a woman is ovulating by measuring the levels of key hormones, including luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

High levels of LH and FSH typically indicate that ovulation is occurring, while low levels may suggest that ovulation is not happening.

Blood tests are just one tool doctors use to diagnose fertility issues. Additional tests, such as ultrasounds or laparoscopy, may also be used for a comprehensive evaluation.

Who should take a female fertility test?
If you’re a woman over the age of 35 and have been trying to conceive for six months or longer, it’s advisable to speak with your doctor about fertility testing.

Your doctor may recommend a range of tests, including blood tests, ultrasounds, and laparoscopy, to assess your ovulation and identify any potential fertility issues.

If you’re under 35 and have been trying to conceive for a year or more without success, it’s also a good idea to consult your doctor about fertility testing.

Where do I send my sample?
You will receive a free return label to send your health test samples back to our lab for analysis. Clear instructions, including return details, will be sent to you via email to guide you through the process.
What do I need to do before my test? i.e. fast, no drinking, etc
If fasting or limiting alcohol intake is required before your blood test, we will send personalized instructions to you via email once your order is placed. However, most tests can be taken without the need for fasting.
When will I get my results/how will I receive my results?
Results are typically processed within 2-3 working days. If a sample is sent over the weekend (which we do not recommend), results will be available within 2-3 days from Monday. Once your results and personalized report are ready, you will receive an email notification to log in to the Welzo online platform and view them.
How can a woman tell is she's infertile?

The normal range for free testosterone in females is typically between 0.3 and 3.5 ng/dL. However, these levels can vary widely from person to person and may fluctuate over the course of a woman’s life due to factors such as age, hormonal changes, and health conditions.

Why should I have a free testosterone test?
A free testosterone test measures the level of testosterone in your blood that is not bound to proteins. Testosterone is a key hormone in both men and women, influencing sexual development and function. In men, it is primarily responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics, such as facial and body hair, a deeper voice, and increased muscle mass. Testosterone also plays a crucial role in reproductive function, sexual desire, and erectile function. In women, testosterone contributes to the development of muscle mass and can lead to a slight deepening of the voice. It also plays an important role in reproductive health and sexual desire.
What if my results show that I’m outside the normal range?
If your test results fall outside the normal range and are causing concern, it’s crucial that you contact your local GP or emergency services immediately by calling 111 or 999.

Please do not wait for your results to be issued if you feel unwell or are worried about your health. It is your responsibility to seek medical attention promptly.
