Trans-hormone Wellness Panel in Louisiana

The Trans-hormone Wellness Panel is a blood test that measures key hormone levels to support monitoring of gender-affirming hormone therapy. It helps clinicians assess whether hormone levels are in a target range and check related health markers.

What it measures

Estradiol — Main form of estrogen; used to monitor feminizing therapy.
Testosterone (total) — Primary androgen; used to monitor masculinizing therapy or suppression.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) — Pituitary hormone that can indicate whether testosterone or estrogen production is suppressed.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) — Another pituitary hormone often checked alongside LH.
Prolactin — Hormone that can rise with some estrogen therapies; monitored for safety.
Liver enzymes (AST/ALT) — Basic liver health markers, since some hormones are processed by the liver.

Who it is for

It is typically ordered by clinicians managing gender-affirming care, such as endocrinologists, primary care providers, or other healthcare professionals experienced in transgender health.

Preparation

Fasting is not usually required. Timing may matter if you use topical or injectable hormones; follow your clinician's instructions about when to draw blood relative to your last dose.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as numeric values with reference ranges that may differ from standard ranges because target ranges for hormone therapy are individualized. A clinician interprets the results in the context of your treatment plan, symptoms, and other health factors. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with your healthcare provider.
