Free testosterone - description and reference ranges

NOTES FROM THE LAB

Hello! My name is Jamila Quaye and I am a senior biomedical scientist with a specialism in haematology, here at One Day Tests laboratory.

Free Testosterone is the portion of unbound (free) male hormone testosterone that is free from binding proteins (SHBG) and Albumin proportions.

Free testosterone is calculated and reported in the laboratory using the following equation.

Testosterone and SHBG measurements are in nmol/L; free testosterone in pmol/L:

Free testosterone (pmol/L) = Testosterone x (6.0928 - (2.2864 * log SHBG)) x 10

CAN A BLOOD TEST DETECT BONE PROBLEMS?
A blood test can provide valuable insight into your bone health by measuring the minerals, enzymes, and proteins involved in bone formation and turnover. While blood tests cannot look directly at the bones, they can reveal biochemical changes that often appear when bones are weakened, breaking down faster than expected, or affected by underlying medical conditions.

WHAT DOES A BONE PROFILE TEST FOR?
A bone profile blood test is a simple way to understand how well your bones are functioning and of knowing your blood levels of the minerals that are important for bone health. It measures key markers that play a role in bone strength, calcium balance, and overall skeletal health. Doctors often use this test when investigating symptoms such as bone pain, fatigue, or unexplained fractures, or when checking for conditions related to calcium and phosphate levels.

WHAT IS NORMAL HCG AT 5 WEEKS?
Human chorionic gonadotropin, also known as hCG, is the hormone measured during pregnancy testing. Levels rise quickly during the early weeks and can provide useful information about how early pregnancy is developing. If you are around five weeks pregnant, understanding what is considered a normal hCG level can help you interpret your results with clarity and reassurance.
