It is a Profile set of tests for the most important hormones.
Why get one?
Hormonal disorders usually occur in women, but this does not mean that men are exempt from such problems. Several types of hormonal imbalances occur in men, including adrenal fatigue.
What are the Instructions for Home Use?
Please take your sample in the morning. Take it at least one hour before any medication.
When you collect your sample, try the following tips:
Drink plenty of water. Being well-hydrated will make it easier to collect your sample.
Shower before you take your sample or run your hands under warm water for a few minutes, as heat improves blood flow.
Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
Ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
Nails that are too long can make it difficult to collect a sample.
Do not shake the sample vigorously, but invert the tube gently 10 times. (gently swirl the tube after each drop of blood).
And do not squeeze the finger (milk).
Re-warm your hands during collection where needed.
6 BioMarkers:
FSH: it measures the follicle-stimulating in your blood.
Testosterone: It is a sex hormone that helps develop mens features.
Free androgen index: helps you understand if you have abnormal androgen levels.
Prolactin measures how much prolactin you have.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin: it measures your testosterone deficiency or excess.
Luteinising Hormone: helps your reproductive system and measures how much luteinising you have.
How does it Work?
Order your kit online and once it arrive collect your sample at home.
Then, drop off the Kit in the morning to the Royal Mail Red Street Box. Use the Track24/48 Return Label to the Lab.
Lastly, once your results are ready, we will send you an email with your Result. Also you can view the report in your Dashboard.
How long do the results take?
The target turnaround time for the Male Hormone test UK Profile results is 1-3 working days of receiving them in the laboratory. However, the turnaround time is a guide only and sometimes depends on assay run schedules.
Please take your sample from Monday to Thursday to avoid delivery delays at the lab.
Sample Management Starts at home…
When you take your sample, please send it straight away. Do not leave it around the home for 1-7 days, as it will arrive in bad condition. Make sure you use the drop box before the final collection time for that day and do not use it on a Saturday or a Sunday. Samples that arrive in poor condition need to be redone.
Therefore, please make your sample from Monday to Thursday.
What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier?
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
FSH: 1 mIU/mL.
Prolactin: 1 ng/mL.
SHGB: 10 nmol/L.
Testosterone: 0.1 ng/mL.
Luteinising hormone: 1 mIU/mL
Free Androgen Index: N/A (calculated)
Accuracy and Precision:
The relative standard deviation is ≤ 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 15%.
The accuracy of these Male Hormone Blood tests is based on the relative deviation. Also, the relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.
However, the precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. Also, the within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
FSH: 5~20 mIU/mL
Males: 1.50~12.40 mIU/mL
Females:
follicular phase: 4.46~12.43 mIU/mL
