Interpretive Data:
The concentration of free testosterone is derived from a mathematical
expression based on the constant for the binding of testosterone to sex
hormone binding globulin.
Comments:
This test is suggested for women and children due to an improved
sensitivity of testosterone by LC-MS/MS.
Methodology:
Quantitative High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry/Electrochemiluminescent Immunoassay The concentration of free testosterone is derived from a mathematical expression based on the constant for the binding of testosterone to sex hormone binding globulin.
CPT Code:
84403 Testosterone, 84270 Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
