This test may aid in the diagnosis of hypogonadism in men, especially when total testosterone level is near the lower limit of the normal range or when sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations are affected by certain conditions. This test may also aid in the diagnosis of hyperandrogenemia in women [1-3]. Testosterone circulates in 3 major forms: unbound (free), weakly bound to albumin, and tightly bound to SHBG. Free testosterone comprises 2% to 4% of total testosterone and is biologically active. In this panel, free testosterone concentration is calculated based on measurements of total testosterone, SHBG, and albumin.
