***Both MALES and FEMALES order this panel, please be sure to enter the gender that you want reference ranges for when placing your order, as each gender has different reference ranges for these tests. ***
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.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH);
Luteinizing Hormone (LH);
Testosterone, Serum (Total Only);
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential: (Hematocrit; hemoglobin; mean corpuscular volume (MCV); mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH); mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC); red cell distribution width (RDW); percentage and absolute differential counts; platelet count; red cell count; white blood cell count; immature granulocytes)
Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP) (includes eGFR): (A:G ratio; albumin, serum; alkaline phosphatase, serum; ALT (SGPT); AST (SGOT); bilirubin, total; BUN; BUN:creatinine ratio; calcium, serum; carbon dioxide, total; chloride, serum; creatinine, serum; globulin, total; glucose, serum; potassium, serum; protein, total, serum; sodium, serum.)
Lipid Profile: Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation).
Note: If testosterone levels are expected to be >1500, it is best that you order a panel that includes Testosterone LC/MS-MS as the testosterone test included in this panel has a cutoff of 1500. Reporting values that exceed 1500 will now be reported as >1500 for all regions, as this standard operating procedure will now be nationwide.
Estimated turnaround for results is 3 business days. If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
FAQ
-
What is a hormone test?
Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the body to different organs and tissues and help control how everything works. Therefore, it is important to check your hormones since they determine how your body functions on many levels. Hormone testing is done to help determine what hormones are present and at what concentrations.
Adding a lipid panel to hormone testing is useful to understand your results and overall health.
-
What hormones do lipids make?
There is a strong relationship between lipids and hormones. Many hormones are derived from cholesterol and are called steroids. Steroid hormones include:
- Testosterone
- Estrogen
- Cortisol
- Progesterone
- DHEA-s
Therefore, studying hormones and lipids together can provide relevant information on how optimal they are in relation to each other.
-
What can a hormone panel test for?
A hormone panel:
- Monitors hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
- Detects hormone deficiencies or excesses
- Diagnoses cancers and other diseases,
- Predicts responses to medical conditions or treatments
- Detects illnesses early
- Assess risk factors for developing certain diseases
-
How does a diet lacking in lipids affect hormone production?
Lipids are essential to normal human metabolism; the absence of adequate amounts of lipids will disrupt the body's normal functions. Therefore, not eating sufficient fats in your regular diet can create a shortage for hormone production and lead to hormonal imbalances, which in men can cause:
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Fatigue
- Low sex drive
- Low overall energy
Hormonal imbalances in women can cause:
- Fatigue
- Low sex drive
- Infertility
- Amenorrhea
-
