Match your question to the right men's panel

Each of these answers a different men's health question — from one result to a full checkup.

A blood test for men can measure testosterone, PSA, cholesterol, glucose, blood counts, and values related to liver and kidney function. Shoppers often compare these options when they want a baseline checkup, a closer look at sexual-hormone results, prostate screening information, or cardiovascular risk-related measurements. The next decision is whether you need a focused result, such as total testosterone or PSA, or a panel that combines several measurements for a more connected discussion with a healthcare professional.

What a comprehensive men's checkup measures

Male Deluxe Checkup measures a complete blood count, including white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It also measures glucose; total, HDL, LDL, and non-HDL cholesterol; triglycerides; creatinine, eGFR, urea nitrogen, electrolytes, ALT, AST, and PSA results. These measurements address different questions: blood counts describe circulating cells, glucose and lipids inform metabolic and cardiovascular discussions, while creatinine and eGFR help assess kidney filtration. Urinalysis findings such as protein, blood, nitrite, and leukocyte esterase add information about the urinary tract. Muscle mass and recent strenuous exercise can influence creatinine, AST, and ALT, so trends and related results matter.

Separating testosterone and related hormone questions

Testosterone, Total, Male, IA (MALES ONLY) measures total testosterone only. It suits a narrow request to establish or follow a total testosterone value. The Hormone Panel with E2 Ultrasensitive & F&T Testosterone LC/MS measures total and free testosterone, LH, FSH, and estradiol, along with blood counts and metabolic values. LH and FSH are pituitary signals involved in testosterone production, while free testosterone reflects the fraction not bound to carrier proteins. Male Hormone Optimization Checkup (LC/MS/MS) adds DHEA sulfate, IGF-1, TSH, free T4, free T3, and vitamin D to total and free testosterone. Symptoms and unexpected hormone results deserve professional review rather than interpretation from one number alone.

PSA and cardiovascular measurements answer different questions

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Free and Total (MALES ONLY) measures PSA total, PSA free, and percent free PSA. PSA is used in prostate screening and monitoring conversations, but a result does not diagnose prostate cancer; benign prostate conditions and other factors also affect PSA. Intensive Cardiovascular Panel Male & Female focuses on lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio, homocysteine, hs-CRP, fibrinogen, and vitamin D. Apolipoprotein B reflects the number of cholesterol-containing particles associated with atherosclerotic risk, while lipoprotein(a) is a distinct inherited risk-related measurement. These results complement, rather than replace, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

Men's General Health FAQ

A blood test for men can measure different sets of results depending on the purpose. Male Deluxe Checkup includes red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol fractions, triglycerides, creatinine, eGFR, ALT, AST, and PSA. Those measurements support discussions about blood-cell status, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk-related values, kidney filtration, liver enzymes, and prostate screening.

Total testosterone represents all testosterone circulating in blood, while free testosterone represents the portion not bound to carrier proteins. Testosterone, Total, Male, IA (MALES ONLY) measures total testosterone alone. The Hormone Panel with E2 Ultrasensitive & F&T Testosterone LC/MS measures both total and free testosterone, which helps place a total result beside the unbound fraction and LH, FSH, and estradiol.

LH and FSH are pituitary hormones involved in signaling the testes. The Hormone Panel with E2 Ultrasensitive & F&T Testosterone LC/MS measures both alongside total and free testosterone. Looking at these values together helps a healthcare professional consider whether an unexpected testosterone result occurs alongside altered signaling; it does not establish a cause or diagnosis by itself.

PSA total reports the overall prostate-specific antigen concentration. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Free and Total (MALES ONLY) also measures free PSA and calculates percent free PSA, providing additional information for a prostate screening discussion. PSA results need clinical context because prostate enlargement, inflammation, and other noncancerous factors can affect them; they do not diagnose cancer.

LDL cholesterol estimates cholesterol carried in LDL particles, whereas apolipoprotein B reflects the number of certain cholesterol-containing particles. Intensive Cardiovascular Panel Male & Female measures apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, their ratio, and lipoprotein(a), while Male Deluxe Checkup measures total, HDL, LDL, and non-HDL cholesterol plus triglycerides. The two approaches describe related but not identical cardiovascular risk information.

Creatinine is a waste product measured in blood, and eGFR is calculated from creatinine to estimate kidney filtration. Male Deluxe Checkup measures both, along with urea nitrogen and electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. Higher muscle mass can affect creatinine, so creatinine and eGFR are best considered together with prior results, medical history, and professional guidance.

ALT and AST are enzymes measured in Male Deluxe Checkup that are often reviewed together when considering liver-cell injury or other tissue effects. AST is also found in muscle, and strenuous exercise can raise AST and ALT. Bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and total protein provide additional laboratory information, so an isolated enzyme change should not be used to identify a condition on its own.

Male Hormone Optimization Checkup (LC/MS/MS) measures total and free testosterone, DHEA sulfate, IGF-1, TSH, free T4, free T3, and vitamin D. TSH, free T4, and free T3 describe thyroid-related signaling and circulating thyroid hormone values, while vitamin D reports nutritional status. This combination is distinct from a total-testosterone-only test and from the panel that includes LH, FSH, and estradiol.
