HYPOGONADISM PANEL MALES Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HYPOGONADISM PANEL MALES Test to help diagnose and manage hypogonadism in males. This comprehensive panel includes various tests to assess hormone levels, blood count, lipid profile, thyroid function, and bone density. Read on to learn more about the components, price, sample condition, and report delivery of this test.
Test Components
- FSH
- LH
- Testosterone Total, Ultrasensitive
Price
The cost of the HYPOGONADISM PANEL MALES Test is 820.0 AED.
Sample Condition
For this test, we require 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 Red Top (No Additive) tube. Please do not use SST gel barrier tubes. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen, and a morning sample is preferred.
Report Delivery
The sample should be submitted on Monday or Thursday by 9 am, and the report will be delivered on Wednesday or Saturday.
Method
The HYPOGONADISM PANEL MALES Test is conducted using the CLIA method and LC-MS/MS technology.
Test Type
This test falls under the category of Diseases of the Reproductive System.
Doctor
The HYPOGONADISM PANEL MALES Test is typically referred by an Endocrinologist.
Test Department
This test is conducted in the GENETIC department of our lab.
Pre Test Information
A morning sample is preferred for this test.
Test Details
A hypogonadism panel for males typically includes the following tests:
- Testosterone level: Measures the amount of testosterone in the blood. Low levels may indicate hypogonadism.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level: Stimulates sperm production and testosterone release. High levels may suggest primary hypogonadism.
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) level: Stimulates testosterone production. Low levels may indicate secondary hypogonadism.
- Prolactin level: High levels can interfere with testosterone production and indicate hypogonadism.
- Estradiol level: Elevated levels can lead to hypogonadism symptoms.
- Complete blood count (CBC): Measures blood cell levels, including red blood cells. Low count can be a sign of hypogonadism.
- Lipid profile: Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Hypogonadism can affect lipid metabolism.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level: Abnormal levels can indicate underlying thyroid problems contributing to hypogonadism.
- Bone density test: Assess bone health, as hypogonadism can lead to decreased bone density and increased risk of osteoporosis.
Please note that the specific tests included in a hypogonadism panel may vary depending on the healthcare provider and the individual’s symptoms and medical history.

Test Details |
A hypogonadism panel for males typically includes the following tests: 1. Testosterone level: This measures the amount of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, in the blood. Low levels of testosterone may indicate hypogonadism. 2. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level: FSH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of sperm and the release of testosterone. High levels of FSH may suggest primary hypogonadism. 3. Luteinizing hormone (LH) level: LH is another hormone released by the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of testosterone. Low levels of LH may indicate secondary hypogonadism. 4. Prolactin level: Prolactin is a hormone that stimulates breast development and milk production in women. High levels of prolactin in males can interfere with testosterone production and indicate hypogonadism. 5. Estradiol level: Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone. Elevated levels of estradiol in males can lead to hypogonadism symptoms. 6. Complete blood count (CBC): This test measures the levels of different blood cells, including red blood cells. Low red blood cell count can be a sign of hypogonadism. 7. Lipid profile: This test measures the levels of different types of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Hypogonadism can affect lipid metabolism and lead to abnormal lipid levels. 8. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level: TSH is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Abnormal TSH levels can indicate underlying thyroid problems that may contribute to hypogonadism. 9. Bone density test: Hypogonadism can lead to decreased bone density and increased risk of osteoporosis. A bone density test can assess bone health. It is important to note that the specific tests included in a hypogonadism panel may vary depending on the healthcare provider and the individual’s symptoms and medical history. |
