Patient should fast for 12-14 hours prior to collection of the specimen. Fasting is defined as no consumption of food or beverage other than water for at least 12 hours before testing. For accurate test results, no ejaculation during the 24 hours preceding the test. If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results.
Estimated turnaround for results is 7 business days. If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
Please Note: If this panel is ordered by a female, due to ordering restrictions on certain tests, the PSA test will not be included on the requisition and will not be performed.
Note: Actual Total Testosterone levels will be provided with this test if levels exceed 1500.
Patient should fast for 12-14 hours preceding collection of specimen. For accurate test results, no ejaculation during the 24 hours preceding the test. Some tests in this panel may exhibit interference when sample is collected from a person who is consuming a supplement with a high dose of biotin (also termed as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H or coenzyme R). It is recommended to stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection of specimen. If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results. Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy is not the same as calcitriol or 1,25 dihydroxy. Calcitriol/Vitamin D, 1,25 Dihydroxy must be ordered separately.
Estimated turnaround for results is 7 business days. If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
