Service Providers for SHBG
The SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) test measures the level of SHBG in the blood, which binds to sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. It helps assess hormone imbalances, liver function, and conditions like PCOS or hypothyroidism.
No special preparation is required. A blood sample is drawn from a vein, which may cause mild discomfort or bruising. Results show whether SHBG levels are low or high, which can indicate underlying health issues like liver disease, hormonal disorders, or metabolic conditions. Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider to determine any necessary treatment or follow-up.
