SHGB Test
SHGB Test
The SHBG Test measures the level of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, a protein in your blood that binds to sex hormones like testosterone and oestrogen, regulating their availability and activity in the body. SHBG plays a crucial role in maintaining hormonal balance, influencing reproductive health, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Abnormal SHBG levels can affect hormone function and are linked to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, obesity, and certain metabolic diseases.
Research from institutions like King’s College London and Harvard Medical School highlights the importance of SHBG as a marker for hormonal health and its role in assessing risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. For example, low SHBG levels have been associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, while elevated levels may occur in liver disease or hyperthyroidism. The test provides valuable insight for healthcare professionals to diagnose and monitor hormonal imbalances, support fertility evaluations, and guide personalised treatment plans.
Whether you are experiencing symptoms like unexplained weight changes, mood swings, fatigue, or reproductive issues, the SHBG test offers a reliable and informative assessment of your hormone regulation, helping you and your doctor take proactive steps towards restoring balance and optimising health.
What Does This Test For?
This test measures the level of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) in your blood to evaluate how your body regulates key sex hormones like testosterone and oestrogen. By assessing SHBG, the test helps identify hormonal imbalances that may affect reproductive health, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. It is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and metabolic issues like insulin resistance. Understanding your SHBG levels supports healthcare professionals in tailoring treatments to restore hormone balance and address symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, or fertility concerns.
