Results help diagnose metabolic bone disease and guide treatment for calcium-related conditions.

The Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test measures SHBG, a protein that binds testosterone and estrogen, to assess how much active hormone is available in the body. Abnormal levels may indicate PCOS, infertility, low testosterone, liver disease, or thyroid disorders. Doctors order this test to investigate symptoms like low libido, irregular periods, acne, or hair loss and to evaluate hormone balance, endocrine function, and metabolic health in men and women.

The Sodium Test measures sodium levels in the blood, an electrolyte essential for fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle activity. Abnormal sodium may indicate dehydration, kidney disease, adrenal disorders, or heart failure. Doctors use this test to investigate symptoms like confusion, weakness, or swelling and to monitor patients with chronic illnesses, diuretic use, or intravenous therapy, ensuring proper electrolyte and metabolic health.

The T3 Reverse (rT3) Test measures reverse triiodothyronine, an inactive thyroid hormone, to assess thyroid and metabolic function. High rT3 may occur in hypothyroidism, chronic illness, stress, or during certain treatments, while low levels may reflect hormone imbalance. Doctors use this test along with TSH, Free T4, and Free T3 to evaluate fatigue, weight changes, or slow metabolism. The rT3 Test provides insight into thyroid regulation, energy balance, and endocrine health.

The T3 Free Test measures free triiodothyronine (T3), the active thyroid hormone not bound to proteins, to assess thyroid function. It helps diagnose hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, and pituitary disorders. Doctors order this test to evaluate symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, or irregular heartbeat and to monitor thyroid replacement or antithyroid therapy. The Free T3 Test provides key insight into metabolism, energy regulation, and overall endocrine health.

The T4 Free Test measures the level of free thyroxine (T4) in blood, the active thyroid hormone not bound to proteins. It helps diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and goiter, as well as pituitary conditions affecting hormone regulation. Doctors use this test to evaluate symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, or irregular heartbeat and to monitor thyroid replacement or antithyroid therapy, providing insight into metabolic and endocrine health.

The Testosterone Free and Total Test measures total testosterone and free, bioavailable testosterone in blood for both men and women. It helps diagnose hormone imbalance, infertility, low libido, erectile dysfunction in men, irregular periods, or PCOS in women.
