Provides insight into
A blood test for hormones provides insight into important hormones such as testosterone, LH, and SHBG.
Testosterone, produced in the testes, supports body growth, energy levels, and muscle development.
LH stimulates the production of testosterone, while SHBG binds and transports this hormone in the bloodstream.
The test helps in detecting hormonal imbalances.
It is possible that an examination may lead to incidental findings. Before the examination, Prescan will ask you whether you want to be informed about incidental findings for which follow-up or treatment is possible, as well as incidental findings related to conditions that could affect your descendants. Prescan is not allowed to inform you about incidental findings for which no follow-up or treatment is possible (see NEN 8051 standard for more information).
For more information on preventive medical examinations, Prescan advises you to consult the following independent sources:
Parameters:
- Testosterone: shows the total amount of testosterone in the blood, providing insight into overall hormone levels.
- Free testosterone: the unbound testosterone available for use by the body, important for functions such as muscle development, energy, and libido.
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone): regulates testosterone production by the testes. Abnormal LH levels may indicate a problem in the pituitary gland or testes.
- SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin): a protein that binds testosterone in the blood. High SHBG levels can result in less free testosterone, even if total testosterone levels are normal.
