- Total estradiol — The overall amount of estradiol in the blood sample.
- Free estradiol (calculated) — The portion not bound to proteins, estimated from other results.
- Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) — A protein that binds estradiol; sometimes measured to interpret free levels.
- Testosterone (total) — Often checked alongside estradiol when hormone balance is evaluated.
