What is Bioavailable Testosterone?

This test measures the amount of testosterone in your blood that is readily available for your body to use. It includes free testosterone and testosterone loosely bound to albumin, providing a more accurate picture of active testosterone levels than total testosterone alone. This helps understand hormone balance and potential related health issues.

Why is this test important?

Bioavailable testosterone levels are crucial for evaluating symptoms of low testosterone in men, such as fatigue, reduced libido, and erectile dysfunction. In women, it can help investigate conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other hormonal imbalances. It aids in diagnosing and monitoring various endocrine disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required, but your doctor may advise a morning blood draw as testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day.
