DOCTOR'S COMMENTS

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

Testosterone is produced in the testes in men and is traditionally considered to be the ‘male’ sex hormone. Whilst it is produced in much higher quantities in men, women also produce testosterone in the ovaries and normal testosterone levels are important for both men and women.

Testosterone is necessary to maintain mood, muscle mass, energy levels, libido and sexual function. It is also important for fertility in men. Lacking testosterone can lead to vague but pervasive symptoms, such as low mood and fatigue.

More marked symptoms can include loss of muscle mass, loss of body hair, erectile dysfunction, changes in sleep, and the development of breast tissue in men.

Although testosterone levels do decline gradually with age, sharp declines in testosterone levels can occur due to a number of medical conditions and you may be at higher risk of this happening if you have had previous illness or injuries that have affected the testes.

Home test kit for Troponin T Blood Test - how it works

Our blood test kits are simple and convenient.

The most important step in doing a blood test at home is to read the instructions very carefully. The process is very simple, but there are a few pitfalls you need to be aware of - you will save yourself a lot of time if you do it right the first time around!

  • Full printed instructions will arrive with your kit - please read them carefully.
  • Drink plenty before taking the sample and warm your hands up in the sink with warm water for a few minutes. This will make your blood flow much better.
  • Fill the tubes to the top line. We don’t need much blood; filling tubes to the top line is about 15 drops of blood.
  • Post the samples on the same day you take them, before midday, Monday to Thursday. If you post it any other time it might get to us late or be stuck at a sorting office over the weekend. You will then have to do it again.
  • Package the sample in the same box the kit came in. Otherwise, Royal Mail or DPD will reject it. The sample tubes go into a pouch, then into a cardboard box, and then into a return envelope. All of this is provided in the kit: please use it.

We look forward to receiving your sample in our lab!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

What does the Troponin T blood test measure?

The Troponin T test measures the amount of a heart muscle protein called “Troponin T” in your bloodstream. When heart muscle cells are damaged, such as during a heart attack, this protein is released into the blood, making elevated levels a strong indicator of cardiac injury.

What do normal or elevated troponin T ranges mean?

A low or undetectable troponin T level usually indicates no significant heart damage, while any increase above the normal reference range suggests injury to the heart muscle. Extremely high values often point to an acute cardiac event, such as a heart attack.

If you experience any of the above symptoms, please contact emergency services immediately.

WHY TAKE THE TEST?

Hi, I am Nader Eldarf, I am a Biomedical Scientist in our laboratory and here is why it's important to take this test.

  1. WHY TAKE THE TROPONIN T BLOOD TEST?

    Regularly measuring Troponin T levels provides valuable insight into your heart’s health over time.



    It is important to track progression or improvement, repeated Troponin T tests can show whether heart muscle damage is worsening or improving, especially after interventions such as medications, procedures, or lifestyle changes.

    This proactive approach helps ensure any warning signs are caught promptly, giving you the best chance for a healthier heart and overall well-being.

IS THIS TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

Hi, I am Sandeep Patel, I am the Laboratory Director at One Day Tests. Here are the symptoms that you may wish to address with this test.

  1. IS THE TROPONIN T BLOOD TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

    If you experience any symptoms, please contact emergency services immediately.

    The Troponin T blood test is often ordered if there is a concern about possible heart damage or when evaluating chest pain. Troponin T is a protein released into the bloodstream when heart muscle cells are injured.

    Usually this is requested if you may be at higher risk of heart disease, due to factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a family history of heart problems.

    It is also used for monitoring ongoing heart-related symptoms, for instance persistent chest discomfort or unexplained fatigue that could signal heart muscle strain or injury.

    Because troponin levels rise soon after heart muscle damage begins, measuring them can help diagnose or rule out certain cardiac conditions quickly.

  1. SYMPTOMS AND TAGS

    Heart attack

WHY ARE BLOOD TESTS IMPORTANT?

Health monitoring is very important, you are in charge of your health - look after it.
