Panel includes:
- LH and FSH (Pituitary hormones that stimulate testicular cells that can help diagnose primary (testicular) or secondary hypogonadism)
- Total and free testosterone (LC/MS assay. No upper limit restriction)
- Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) (TRT is contraindicated for PSA equal or above 4.0)
- Estradiol (Ultra-sensitive. LC/MS assay)
- Lipids (LDL, HDL, Triglycerides)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) (Glucose, electrolytes, liver/kidney functions). FASTING IS REQUIRED FOR ACCURATE GLUCOSE TEST.
- Comprehensive Blood Count (CBC) (Immune cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit).
The Pre-TRT Male Hormone/Wellness Panel is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to provide an in-depth evaluation of male hormonal health, particularly for those considering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). This panel offers a meticulous assessment of key health indicators, ensuring a thorough understanding of your body's hormonal and metabolic status.
Key Components of the Panel:
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): These pituitary hormones are crucial for stimulating testicular function. Measuring their levels helps in diagnosing primary (testicular) or secondary (pituitary) hypogonadism, providing insight into the underlying causes of testosterone deficiency.
Total and Free Testosterone: Utilizing the precise Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) assay, this test accurately measures both total and free testosterone levels without upper limit restrictions, offering a clear picture of your androgen status.
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA): Monitoring PSA levels is essential for assessing prostate health. Elevated PSA can be a contraindication for TRT, making this test vital for safe therapy initiation.
Ultra-Sensitive Estradiol: Also measured via LC/MS assay, this test evaluates estradiol levels, ensuring they are within optimal ranges, as imbalances can affect various aspects of health.
Lipid Profile: Assessing LDL, HDL, and triglycerides provides insight into cardiovascular health, which is important when considering hormone therapies.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): This panel examines glucose levels, electrolytes, and liver and kidney functions, offering a broad overview of metabolic health. Fasting is required for accurate glucose measurement.
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluating immune cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels helps detect conditions like anemia or polycythemia, which can influence treatment decisions.
By encompassing these critical tests, the Pre-TRT Male Hormone/Wellness Panel delivers a detailed and reliable assessment of your hormonal and overall health. This thorough evaluation aids in informed decision-making regarding TRT, ensuring that therapy is both appropriate and safe.
For those seeking a meticulous and precise understanding of their hormonal health, this panel stands as an invaluable resource, offering clarity and confidence in your health management journey.
