About the test
Testosterone is an androgen hormone important for sexual development, reproductive function and muscle and bone tissue in both sexes. The test is used when androgen deficiency or excess, altered sexual development or selected fertility disorders are suspected.
The level depends on time of day and transport proteins; SHBG and repeat measurement may be needed for clarification. The result is interpreted in the context of age, clinical information, other measurements and the method used; the doctor decides on further action.
