Required: Women’s TRT Maintenance Panel (Quest)

What this panel includes

• Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP): Includes fasting glucose and markers of liver, kidney, and electrolyte balance

• CBC with differential: Offers context on overall health and inflammatory or physiologic stress

• Total testosterone: Measures overall testosterone levels

• Free testosterone: Assesses biologically active testosterone

• Estradiol and Progesterone: Evaluates hormone balance and conversion, which can influence symptoms and treatment response

• Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH): Assess pituitary signaling and hormone regulation

• Thyroid function: TSH and free T4 to assess metabolic regulation

• Adrenal and stress hormones: Cortisol (AM) serum to evaluate stress response patterns

• Androgen support: DHEA-S as a marker of adrenal reserve and resilience

• Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG): Assesses biologically active hormone levels

• Vitamin D: Supports bone health, immune function, and metabolic regulation

Biomarkers tested

Why patients choose this

• One comprehensive draw that looks at testosterone, hormone balance, pituitary signaling, thyroid, and key safety markers to keep therapy on track.
• Required after 90 days, annually, and as requested while on testosterone therapy (injections and cream/gel).
• A discounted, bundled panel rather than paying for each test separately.
• Schedule your lab test seamlessly and complete it at a lab near you.
• Results flow straight into your portal, giving your clinician the full picture to continue and optimize your therapy safely.

Before your test

Must be completed between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m., when testosterone is at its physiologic peak. Draws outside this window may not be able to be used for treatment qualification.

It is recommended to fast for at least 8 hours before your draw.

Important information

Why it matters: testosterone therapy requires careful ongoing monitoring to confirm it remains appropriate, effective, and safe over time.

When: required after 90 days, annually, and as requested while on testosterone therapy (injections and cream/gel).

How it's used: these values give your clinician the clinical context to continue and optimize your treatment plan.
