Are you concerned about menopause? Or are you a younger woman concerned about hormone balance, PMS or weight gain?

Beyond-Biology’s Female Hormone Blood Test is a comprehensive blood test that answers these questions and addresses general health, hormone status and even cardiovascular health. These tests include the following:

  • Chemistry Panel (Metabolic panel with lipids)
  • Uric acid
  • BUN (blood urea nitrogen): Measures liver and kidney function
  • Creatinine: A test used to measure kidney function
  • BUN/Creatinine Ratio: For diagnosis of impaired renal function
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
  • Sodium / Potassium / Chloride / Calcium / Phosphorus / Total Protein / Albumin / Globulin / Albumin/Globulin Ratio
  • Bilirubin: Evaluates kidney and liver function
  • Alkaline Phosphatase: Evaluation of liver and bone diseases
  • LDH (lactic dehydrogenase)
  • AST (SGOT): Evaluates liver function
  • ALT (SGPT): Evaluates liver function
  • Iron (serum)
  • Lipid Profile: Evaluates the risk for developing atherosclerosis (arterial plaque) and coronary heart disease.
  • Total Cholesterol / Triglycerides / HDL Cholesterol / LDL Cholesterol / Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
  • Complete Blood Count (CBC)
  • Fasting Glucose (blood sugar)
  • Red blood cell count / Hemoglobin / Hematocrit / Red blood cell indices / Mean corpuscular hemoglobin
  • Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
  • Red blood cell distribution
  • White blood cell count
  • Differential count
  • Platelet count
  • Free Testosterone
  • Total Testosterone
  • DHEA – Sulfate
  • Progesterone
  • Estradiol
  • C-reactive protein (High sensitivity)
  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) The thyroid gland primarily produces T4 which converts to T3, the more active form of the hormone. Optimal thyroid hormone production supports your resting metabolic rate, which is essential in maintaining a healthy weight.
  • Free T4
  • Free T3
  • Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) A 12-hour fast is required for this blood test. However, drink plenty of water and take your medications as prescribed

Additional Testing: These panels provide information about Estrogen, Pregnenoloneand Growth Hormone deficiencyThey may be added at minimal additional cost to Beyond-Biology’s Female Panel.

Female Hormone Blood Test Plus Panel includes:

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, also known as IGF-1, is used as a bio-marker for blood levels of human growth hormone(HGH). The blood level of IGF-1 appears to be constant over 24 hours and is found to be related to growth hormone secretion.

Because IGF-1 is related to the production and secretion of growth hormone (HGH), many doctors use this measurement to assess growth hormone status.
