What it measures
- Total testosterone — The main form of testosterone circulating in blood, bound to proteins plus a small free portion.
- Free testosterone — The small fraction not attached to proteins, which is the form available for the body to use.
- Bioavailable testosterone — Testosterone that is loosely bound or free, estimated in some situations.
- Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) — A protein that binds testosterone; its level affects how much total testosterone is free.
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) — A pituitary signal that tells the testes or ovaries to make testosterone; helps find the cause of an abnormal level.
Preparation
Timing matters: testosterone is highest in the morning, so blood is often drawn between 7 and 10 a.m. Fasting is usually not required, but follow any specific instructions from your clinician.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number with a reference range that varies by lab, age, and sex. A single low or high value may need to be repeated, and a clinician interprets results alongside your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before a testosterone test?
Usually no. Fasting is not routinely required, but your clinician may ask you to skip food if other tests are done at the same time.
Why is the test done in the morning?
Testosterone levels naturally rise overnight and are highest in the morning, so an early draw gives a more consistent and comparable result.
Can one normal result rule out a hormone problem?
No. Levels can change from day to day, so a clinician may repeat the test or add other hormone tests before drawing conclusions.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan and the reason the test is ordered. Check with your insurance provider or the lab before testing.
