TRT Comprehensive Hormone & Health Lab Panel - 23 Biomarkers Get a complete picture of your hormone and metabolic health with this finger prick style lab panel, perfect for optimizing wellness or managing hormonal imbalances. What’s Measured in Our Full Panel? 1. HematocritTRT increases red blood cell production, which can raise hematocrit. High levels can thicken the blood, increasing the risk of complications like high blood pressure or blood clots. 2. Cholesterol, TotalTestosterone impacts cholesterol metabolism. Tracking total cholesterol helps assess cardiovascular health and potential risks associated with TRT. 3. HDL Cholesterol (Good Cholesterol)TRT may lower HDL cholesterol, which is crucial for heart health. Monitoring levels ensures that therapy is not increasing cardiovascular risk. 4. LDL Cholesterol (Bad Cholesterol)Elevated LDL cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease. TRT can sometimes influence LDL levels, making regular monitoring essential. 5. TriglyceridesHigh triglycerides are linked to metabolic issues and insulin resistance, which can be affected by TRT. Maintaining healthy levels supports overall metabolic health. 6. GlucoseTestosterone plays a role in insulin sensitivity. Monitoring glucose helps detect early signs of metabolic disorders like diabetes. 7. Estradiol (Sensitive Test)Testosterone converts to estradiol in the body. High estradiol can cause water retention, gynecomastia, and mood swings, while low levels may lead to joint pain and low libido. 8. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)FSH is important for sperm production. TRT suppresses natural FSH production, which may impact fertility in men looking to conceive. 9. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)LH stimulates natural testosterone production. TRT typically lowers LH, confirming the suppression of testicular function. 10. Prolactin (PRL)Elevated prolactin levels can lead to issues like low libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood disturbances. Monitoring ensures balanced hormone levels. 11. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)The thyroid plays a key role in metabolism and energy regulation. TRT can interact with thyroid function, so keeping TSH levels in check ensures proper metabolic health. 12. Free Thyroxine (Free T4)This thyroid hormone helps regulate metabolism. Ensuring normal levels supports energy balance and overall well-being. 13. Hemoglobin A1C (%)This provides a long-term (3-month) picture of blood sugar levels, helping detect insulin resistance or prediabetes, which can be influenced by TRT. 14. CreatinineA measure of kidney function. Since TRT can increase muscle mass and protein metabolism, monitoring kidney function is important for overall health. 15. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)A liver enzyme used to assess liver function. TRT can affect liver metabolism, making it important to monitor for any potential stress on the liver. 16. Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)Another liver enzyme that helps evaluate liver health. Elevated ALT levels could indicate liver stress or fatty liver disease. 17. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)A key test for prostate health. TRT can cause prostate tissue growth, so monitoring PSA levels is essential to detect any abnormalities early. 18. Testosterone, TotalMeasures the total amount of testosterone in the bloodstream. This test helps optimize dosage and ensure effective TRT management. 19. Testosterone, Free (Calculated)Free testosterone is the bioavailable form that the body can use. Monitoring this ensures proper testosterone balance and treatment efficacy. 20. Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)SHBG binds to testosterone, affecting how much is available for the body to use. Low SHBG may increase free testosterone, while high SHBG can limit testosterone effectiveness. 21. AlbuminAlbumin levels impact free testosterone calculations. It also plays a role in maintaining overall blood volume and hormone transport. 22. Vitamin B12Essential for energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system health. TRT can sometimes mask deficiencies, making monitoring important. 23. Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3)The active thyroid hormone responsible for metabolism, energy levels, and cognitive function. Since TRT can impact metabolic function, monitoring Free T3 ensures efficient energy utilization.
