Testosterone Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Test
Comprehensive Hormone Analysis for Optimal Health
The Testosterone Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic approach to evaluating hormonal health and endocrine function. This dual-measurement test provides healthcare providers with essential data about both total testosterone levels and the protein that regulates its biological activity throughout your body.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This advanced diagnostic assessment evaluates two critical components of your endocrine system:
- Total Testosterone Levels: Measures the complete amount of testosterone circulating in your bloodstream, including both bound and free forms
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Quantifies the specific protein produced by your liver that binds to sex hormones, regulating their availability to tissues
- Bioavailable Testosterone Calculation: By analyzing the relationship between testosterone and SHBG, healthcare providers can determine the amount of hormone actually available to your cells
Who Should Consider This Test
This comprehensive hormone analysis is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained fatigue and low energy levels
- Decreased libido or sexual dysfunction
- Mood changes, including depression or irritability
- Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Muscle weakness or reduced physical performance
- Fertility concerns or reproductive health issues
- Metabolic syndrome symptoms
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) evaluation
- Monitoring hormone replacement therapy
Clinical Benefits of Testing
Understanding your testosterone and SHBG levels provides numerous clinical advantages:
- Accurate Hormone Assessment: Provides a complete picture of your hormonal status beyond simple testosterone measurements
- Personalized Treatment Guidance: Helps healthcare providers develop targeted treatment plans based on your specific hormone profile

Understanding Your Test Results
Your test results will provide valuable information about your hormonal health:
- Normal Ranges: Results are interpreted based on age and sex-specific reference ranges
- High SHBG Levels: May indicate liver conditions, hyperthyroidism, or estrogen excess
- Low SHBG Levels: Often associated with obesity, insulin resistance, or hypothyroidism
- Testosterone Interpretation: Must be considered in context with SHBG levels for accurate assessment
- Clinical Correlation: Results should always be discussed with your healthcare provider who understands your complete medical history
