Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
A Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) test evaluates the protein that binds to hormones like testosterone and estrogen, helping to understand how much of these hormones are active in the body. Changes in SHBG levels can provide insights into conditions like thyroid disorders, liver disease, or hormonal imbalances.
