Fasting Instructions:

The Testosterone Maintenance / Therapy Panel is a comprehensive blood test panel designed to safely monitor hormone levels and overall health during testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or testosterone supplementation. Testosterone therapy can affect multiple systems in the body, which makes regular monitoring essential for effectiveness, safety, and long-term health.
This panel evaluates testosterone levels alongside key markers related to estrogen balance, red blood cell production, liver function, kidney function, and metabolic health. It is commonly recommended for individuals receiving testosterone injections, pellets, gels, or boosters and is often used on a quarterly basis to ensure therapy remains optimized and well-tolerated.
What Is Included In This Test?
This panel includes four essential tests that work together to provide a complete picture of therapy impact:
-
Testosterone Free and Total Test
Measures both total testosterone and free (bioavailable) testosterone to assess overall hormone levels and the amount of testosterone actively available for use by the body. -
Estradiol, Ultrasensitive Test
Measures low levels of estradiol with high precision. This is especially important during testosterone therapy, as elevated estradiol in men may contribute to side effects such as fluid retention or gynecomastia. -
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets
Evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to monitor oxygen delivery, immune health, and clotting. Testosterone therapy can increase red blood cell production, making this test critical for safety monitoring. -
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Assesses liver function, kidney function, blood sugar, electrolytes, and metabolic balance. This test is especially important for monitoring liver health and overall metabolic response during ongoing therapy.
Together, these tests help ensure testosterone therapy is effective, balanced, and medically safe.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The Testosterone Maintenance / Therapy Panel is recommended for adults who are currently receiving or actively managing testosterone therapy.
You should consider this test if you:
- Are undergoing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)

-
How often should this panel be taken during testosterone therapy?
This panel is commonly recommended, minimum, every 3 months to ensure therapy remains safe, effective, and properly adjusted.

How does the CMP support testosterone therapy monitoring?
The CMP evaluates liver and kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolytes to ensure your body is handling therapy safely.
