What Total Testosterone, LC MS Mass Spec measures
Total Testosterone, LC MS Mass Spec is most often requested in connection with hormone level check, male sex hormone and androgen test, which is why it sits within the male hormones group at Wimpole Street.
These tests measure testosterone — total, and the free or bioavailable fraction not bound to proteins — along with sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which determines how much is usable. LH and FSH from the pituitary show whether the testes are being asked to produce more, and prolactin, oestradiol, DHEA-sulphate and dihydrotestosterone fill in the wider picture. Erectile dysfunction and andropause profiles group these with glucose, lipids and thyroid function.
Preparing for your Total Testosterone, LC MS Mass Spec
- 1Book a morning appointment, ideally before 10am, because testosterone peaks early and falls through the day.
- 2Fasting overnight improves consistency, as a large meal can lower testosterone transiently.
- 3Avoid heavy exercise, alcohol and poor sleep the night before, which each depress the morning value.
- 4If you use testosterone gel, do not apply it near the sampling site on the day.
Sample for this test: venous blood sample (serum).
Who considers Total Testosterone, LC MS Mass Spec
- People often consider male hormone testing if their energy, motivation or libido has dropped over months.
- Difficulty gaining or keeping muscle despite regular training is a frequent prompt.
- Erectile difficulties, particularly alongside low mood or poor sleep, commonly lead to a hormone check.
- Men using or considering testosterone therapy need baseline and monitoring values.
- Those investigating fertility often have LH, FSH and testosterone measured together.
Understanding your Total Testosterone, LC MS Mass Spec results
A low morning testosterone on two separate occasions, together with symptoms, can indicate hypogonadism; a single borderline reading is usually repeated before anything is concluded. Raised LH and FSH suggest the testes themselves are underperforming, whereas low or normal values with low testosterone point towards the pituitary. SHBG rises with age, thyroid overactivity and some medicines, so free testosterone helps when total values are ambiguous.
Testosterone varies by hour, day and health status, so results are interpreted alongside symptoms and repeat sampling rather than against a single threshold.
