TRT Test Panel

TRT Lab Test Panel - More Information

This TRT blood test panel, also known as a testosterone replacement therapy test panel, measures blood markers used to manage testosterone dosing in people undergoing TRT.

Testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, has become popular in recent years as a way for aging men to help replace naturally declining levels of testosterone. Lower testosterone levels can impact the quality of one's life through symptoms such as low sex drive, decreased muscle mss, and fatigue. TRT involves receiving prescription testosterone through forms such as creams, injections and pellets.

This TRT blood test panel measures blood markers that are frequently tested in men undergoing TRT. In addition to conveying information about its other components, the CBC test checks the hematocrit level to ensure it is not excessively elevated by TRT. The free and total testosterone test checks the level of total testosterone and bioavailable, or free, testosterone in the blood which is tracked to optimize testosterone dosing and replacement. This panel also checks the total PSA level to look for prostate blood abnormalities that might be exacerbated by testosterone replacement.

To get a TRT lab test panel near you, order online and get your blood drawn at the Quest Diagnostics lab that you selected. Once your TRT lab report is ready, it will be available for download. As can be seen on the sample TRT lab report above, the TRT blood markers tested will be reported as numerical values which can be compared against the reference ranges provided by the lab in consultation with the medical provider overseeing the testosterone replacement therapy. For people who want a more advanced TRT blood panel that checks some additional blood markers, including the estradiol test, please check out the TRT advanced panel.
