Hormone Panel (MALES ONLY) -
(QUEST DIAGNOSTICS)Description: This panel is restricted to Males Only. It utilizes the Males Only Testosterone test which is not designed to be performed on females. The Males Only Testosterone test will result out faster than the LC/MS/MS Testosterone test included in many other panels, and will provide actual results for levels up to 3,000.
FEMALES needing to order these specific tests from Quest will need to order the 'Hormone Panel with Testosterone LC/MS-MS'.
Use of synthetic steroids, various supplements and/or high doses of biotin may interfere with the accuracy of the standard immunoassay Testosterone Total serum test included in this panel. If you are taking any of these it is recommended that you order a panel that includes the Testosterone LC/MS-MS methodology for testing.
This testosterone test will provide actual results for levels up to 3,000.
This is a Male Only test, it cannot be ordered by females. If a female orders this panel, the testosterone test will not be included on the requisition or performed at the lab.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
