LaboratoryTestosterone Free [Moles/volume] in Serum or Plasma by calculation
Definition
Free testosterone calculated based on the measured values for testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and albumin, depending on the equation used. The Nanjee-Wheeler and Ly-Handelsman equations use testosterone and SHBG, and Sodergard and Vermeulen equations use testosterone, SHBG, and albumin to calculate the free testosterone.
