TRT Screening Panel
The TRT Screening Panel is a purpose-built lab panel designed to evaluate key hormones, blood health, and organ function before starting or adjusting testosterone therapy. It includes total and free testosterone, estradiol, LH, FSH, SHBG, CBC, CMP, and PSA—offering a complete view of your androgen status, fertility markers, and baseline health. Whether you're considering TRT, already on it, or managing symptoms like low libido, fatigue, or brain fog, this panel gives you the clinical-grade clarity to move forward confidently.
Why It's Important
TRT is powerful—but without labs, it’s a guessing game. This panel uncovers the full hormonal picture: how your body is producing testosterone, how much is free and usable, how your estrogen is responding, and whether you're safe to proceed. It also screens for critical markers like PSA, liver enzymes, red blood cell production, and cardiovascular health—so you can pursue optimization with precision, safety, and data to back it up.
Key Points
- Built for Testosterone Therapy
Covers every major lab needed before starting or adjusting TRT, all in one panel. - Complete Hormone Snapshot
Includes total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, SHBG, LH, and FSH to assess androgen production, bioavailability, and hormone balance. - Safety-First Screening
PSA, CBC and CMP help flag risks and ensure organ systems are functioning optimally before treatment begins. - Dialed for Precision
Avoid unnecessary therapy, misdiagnosis, or complications by starting with real, baseline lab data. - Track Over Time
Perfect for monitoring progress and adjusting dosing with data—not symptoms alone.
Order the TRT Screening Panel and get the clarity you need to take the next step with confidence.
Included Test Parameters
Hormones (Reproductive & Anabolic)
- Testosterone, Total (LC/MS) Measures the total testosterone in the blood using gold-standard liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS), ensuring high accuracy even at low levels.
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH) A hormone released by the pituitary gland that signals the testes to produce testosterone and plays a key role in regulating the reproductive axis.
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) A protein that binds sex hormones like testosterone and regulates their bioavailability.
- Estradiol This test measures the primary form of estrogen in the body, which plays a key role in hormone balance, libido, bone health in both men and women.
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) A pituitary hormone that stimulates sperm production and supports testicular function in men.
- Testosterone, Free Assesses the unbound, bioavailable portion of testosterone that can act directly on tissues.
Blood Analysis
-
Nucleated RBC (Absolute & %) Immature red blood cells, rarely seen in normal circulation—may suggest stress or disease.
-
RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width) Reflects variation in red blood cell size—helpful in diagnosing anemia types.
-
Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) Counts red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
-
MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) Measures the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell.
-
MPV (Mean Platelet Volume) Shows the average size of platelets—larger ones are often more active.
-
Monocytes (Absolute & %) White blood cells that clean up cellular debris and help regulate inflammation.
-
Eosinophils (Absolute & %) White cells involved in allergic reactions and parasite defense.
-
Lymphocytes (Absolute & %) White blood cells involved in viral immunity and antibody production.
-
Hemoglobin The oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells.
-
MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) Indicates hemoglobin concentration within red cells.
-
Hematocrit Percentage of blood volume made up by red blood cells.
-
Neutrophils (Absolute & %) A type of white blood cell involved in acute infection response.
-
WBC Morphology Microscopic review of white cell appearance for abnormalities.
-
MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) Shows the average size of red blood cells.
-
Platelet Morphology Examines platelet size and structure to assess function or abnormal production.
-
Basophils (Absolute & %) Rare immune cells involved in allergy and inflammatory signaling.
-
RBC Morphology Evaluates the shape and appearance of red blood cells under a microscope.
Nucleated RBC (Absolute & %) Immature red blood cells, rarely seen in normal circulation—may suggest stress or disease.
Liver Function
- Globulin A group of proteins involved in immune function and inflammation.
- Bilirubin, Total Measures total bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown.
- Bilirubin, Direct Assesses the conjugated (processed) form of bilirubin by the liver.
- ALT (SGPT) A liver-specific enzyme elevated in liver cell stress or injury.
- Total Protein The sum of all proteins in the blood, including albumin and globulin.
- A/G Ratio The ratio of albumin to globulin, used to evaluate liver and immune system balance.
- Albumin A major liver-made protein that maintains fluid balance and transports hormones.
- AST (SGOT) An enzyme found in liver and muscle; elevated levels suggest tissue damage.
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) An enzyme related to bile flow, bone health, and liver function.
Kidney Function
-
BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) A waste product filtered by the kidneys, used to evaluate kidney function.
-
Sodium An essential electrolyte that affects hydration, nerve function, and blood pressure.
-
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) This test estimates how well your kidneys are filtering blood, helping detect early stages of kidney dysfunction or monitor chronic kidney disease.
-
Carbon Dioxide Reflects blood buffering capacity and metabolic pH status.
-
Creatinine Another waste marker filtered by the kidneys, often used with BUN for renal function.
-
Calcium A mineral critical for bone strength, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction.
-
Chloride An electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and acid-base status.
-
BUN/Creatinine Ratio Helps determine whether kidney stress is due to dehydration or internal damage.
Male-Specific Health
- PSA Total (with Reflex to Free) A screening marker for prostate health, used to detect inflammation, enlargement, or cancer.
Metabolic Health
-
Glucose Shows your blood sugar at a single point in time, typically after fasting.
