FREE ANDROJEN INDEX

The Free Androgen Index (FAI) serves as a valuable diagnostic tool, offering crucial insights into androgen levels for individuals undergoing hormonal assessments, such as those provided by Hypro Diagnostics. Androgens, including testosterone, play pivotal roles in the transition from childhood to adulthood during puberty, and imbalances in these hormones can lead to various health challenges. Hypro Diagnostics utilizes a comprehensive testosterone test, measuring total testosterone, free testosterone, and sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), to provide a thorough analysis. The FAI, specifically, examines the ratio of total testosterone to SHBG, offering a nuanced understanding of bioactive testosterone availability in the bloodstream. Regular monitoring through Hypro Diagnostics’ assessments contributes to maintaining a healthy hormonal equilibrium across different life stages.
