Hormone Replacement Therapy for males before pellet insertion involves several crucial tests to evaluate health and hormonal balance.
- Estradiol
Estradiol is essential for modulating libido, erectile function, and spermatogenesis in men. - Testosterone, Total
Total Testosterone is the primary male hormone responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and overall male health. - Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA)
PSA is a protein produced by prostate cells, and its levels need to be monitored for prostate health during testosterone therapy. - Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH)
TSH regulates the production of thyroid hormones, which affect metabolic processes including the metabolism of testosterone. - Thyroxine (T4), Free, Direct
Free T4 is the active form of thyroxine hormone that helps assess thyroid function and the body’s energy regulation. - Triiodothyronine (T3), Free
Free T3 is the biologically active thyroid hormone influencing many bodily functions, including metabolism and heart rate. - Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential
A CBC provides valuable information about overall health by measuring levels of red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets, important for monitoring therapy effects. - Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) Antibodies
These antibodies are tested to evaluate for autoimmune thyroid conditions that may affect hormone levels and overall health. - Metabolic Panel (14), Comprehensive
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel assesses glucose, electrolytes, and kidney and liver function, crucial for evaluating metabolic health. - Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy
25-Hydroxy Vitamin D levels are important for bone health and may correlate with testosterone levels, thus impacting hormone therapy outcomes. - Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell production and neurological function, and low levels can affect overall energy and health status.
