Testosterone in ratio to estradiol and SHBG, FSH and LH, the thyroid baseline, PSA, and the metabolic + safety context that govern how it all behaves. The entry hormone panel for men , broader than a standard physical, focused enough to act on.
What’s tested
biomarkers
Grouped by clinical axis. Notes flag the markers where the assay choice or interpretation matters most.
Why these matter
Testosterone, Free, Bioavailable and Total, LC/MS/MS
Mass-spec bundle , includes SHBG and albumin used to calculate free and bioavailable fractions.
Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS
The assay you actually want at male physiologic estradiol levels; standard immunoassay is unreliable here.
