What is the Male Hormones Blood Test?
It is a set of tests for the most important male hormones.
Why get a Male Hormones Blood test?
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
6 Tests:
FSH: it measures the follicle-stimulating hormone in your blood.
Testosterone: it is a sex hormone that helps male features develop.
Free androgen index: helps you understand if you have abnormal androgen levels.
Prolactin measures how much prolactin you have in your blood.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin: it measures your testosterone deficiency or excess.
Luteinising Hormone: helps your reproductive system and measures how much luteinising hormone you have in your blood.

Scientific Information Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Testing 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%.
Measuring Ranges:
- FSH: 1~100 mIU/mL
- Prolactin: 1~200 ng/mL.
- SHGB: 10~1000 nmol/L.
- Testosterone: 0.1~16.0 ng/mL.
- Luteinising hormone: 1~100 mIU/mL.
- Free Androgen Index: N/A (calculated)
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Test Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy of these tests is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. 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.
